add a warning about homebrew's use of analytics by default

It apparently displays a notice on first use, but I was surprised to
learn about this behavior today, and I've used it. Displaying a notice
does not make violating users' privacy acceptable.

[Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) has [a formula](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/git-annex) for git-annex.
Warning: Homebew enables telemetry by default, which is not a good practice.
If you are surprised by it doing this, see [here](https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics)
and you may want to run `brew analytics off`.
Homebrew users can simply run `brew install git-annex` to install git-annex.
