Mike McQuaid 49038a2cd9 Remove mentions to official taps
There are none remaining. We don’t want PHP to get the deprecated
messages until all formulae have been deleted so that will be in a
later PR.

# Interesting Taps & Forks
A _tap_ is homebrew-speak for a Git repository containing extra formulae.
Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the `brew tap` and `brew untap` commands. Type `man brew` in your Terminal. The main repository [https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core), often called `homebrew/core`, is always built-in.
Your taps are Git repositories located at `$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps`.
