Uninstall can remove the Brewfile entry too

In the Brewfile view, Uninstall… (for one package or a selection) now opens a dialog with three choices:

• Uninstall and Remove from Brewfile
• Uninstall, Keep in Brewfile
• Cancel

Before, Uninstall always kept the entry, so removing a package from both the Mac and the Brewfile took two actions.

• Only packages that brew actually uninstalled lose their entries. A failed or stopped uninstall leaves the Brewfile as it was.
• The removal is one undoable edit.
• The Installed view lists only packages that aren't in the Brewfile, so its bulk Uninstall doesn't ask.

New casks match the file's greedy: true style

add() writes cask "name", greedy: true when most of the Brewfile's casks already carry it, and a bare line otherwise. Barkeep follows the file rather than checking whether the Brewfile is mrk's. In mrk's Brewfile every cask carries it, and each cask Barkeep added was the odd one out, which had to be fixed by hand.

Code

• BrewfileEntry.isGreedy; canonicalLine(name:kind:greedy:).
• BrewfileViewModel.newCasksAreGreedy; remove(packages:brewfileURL:), which matches by name and kind.
• uninstallEach now returns the packages it uninstalled. Its log and notification say "uninstalled" rather than "removed", which now means something else.
• The help window and README describe both changes.
• release-notes/v1.13.0.md is a draft. I assumed 1.13.0 because these are two new features; rename the file if the version you release is different.

Tests

36 pass locally with xcodebuild … test (30 existing, 6 new), with no new warnings. The new tests cover:

• adding a cask to a greedy Brewfile, a bare one, and one with no casks;
• a formula never getting greedy: true;
• what isGreedy counts as greedy;
• removal by name and kind when a formula and a cask share a name;
• a removal that matches nothing leaving the file and the undo stack alone.

Not tested by hand: I didn't click through the dialog in the running app. That would have run real brew uninstall commands against your real Brewfile.

• mrk: the test's copy of add() follows the new behaviour, and BIN-1, manual.md and the cleanup skill mention it (Follow Barkeep 1.13.0: greedy casks, and Uninstall and Remove from Brewfile mrk#29).
• sevmac: SMAC-1 §3.3.1 (SMAC-1: Barkeep 1.13.0 asks about the Brewfile entry on Uninstall, and writes greedy casks sevmac#6).

Those two describe 1.13.0 by version number, so merge them once this ships.
