This new part of documentation has been added in order to provide
users a way to identify curl related issues which may or may not be
caused by their workstation.
- At the AGM we formed an ad-hoc documentation working group.
- One of our ideas was that we should have a last reviewed date for
documentation, so that we can periodically implement a review
mechanism (GitHub Actions posts to Slack for a regular documentation
outdatedness check?) to track how old docs are and ensure they're
still relevant.
- This is a first step towards that goal, by adding a `last_review_date`
to the metadata of all docs with a date of earlier than Homebrew's
inception because everything needs reviewing so that we start from a
good base!
Similarly to have we have with other commands, use Bash to speed it up.
Before:
```
$ hyperfine "brew list"
Benchmark 1: brew list
Time (mean ± σ): 559.9 ms ± 122.8 ms [User: 176.2 ms, System: 126.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 503.2 ms … 907.3 ms 10 runs
```
After:
```
$ hyperfine "brew list"
Benchmark 1: brew list
Time (mean ± σ): 223.7 ms ± 31.9 ms [User: 35.0 ms, System: 53.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 198.1 ms … 302.4 ms 10
```
Petty after comparison because someone on Homebrew/discussions compared
them:
```
$ hyperfine "brew list" "pip3 list"
Benchmark 1: brew list
Time (mean ± σ): 213.1 ms ± 22.8 ms [User: 34.2 ms, System: 49.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 191.2 ms … 272.3 ms 13 runs
Benchmark 2: pip3 list
Time (mean ± σ): 271.7 ms ± 4.6 ms [User: 191.9 ms, System: 40.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 264.7 ms … 281.4 ms 10 runs
Summary
brew list ran
1.28 ± 0.14 times faster than pip3 list
```

While we're here, also add the `HOMEBREW_CASKROOM` environment variable
to make things a bit cleaner and use `--caskroom` in documentation.

I think this is a substantial improvement and does what I hoped, helps folks help themselves if--say--they just want to get emacs working; next time they'll have the technique in their pocket too.

- Remove no longer needed `acme-challenge` file
- Set title, description, social image, logo, etc. for SEO
- Use extensionless permalinks (old links still work)
- Cleanup `_config.yml`
- Import latest `_layouts/base` from https://brew.sh
Bare URLs are auto-linked on GitHub but not on docs.brew.sh, so I added
angle brackets around them where appropriate. Also converted
Markdown-linked URLs for clarity.
