[QGIS-Developer] MAC QGIS 3.x build

[Peter Petrik]

sounds good, +1 for moving READMEs to qgis/QGIS and removal/deprecation of
homebrew-qgisdev.

I do not have that much experience yet with development on the platform to
write full docs, but I can help with review/test of the new docs once
ported.

In the meantime, could someone with merge rights in homebrew-qgisdev just
add big note at the beginning that this is not maintained anymore and
osgeo4mac should be used instead?
thanks
P.
