diagnostic: note El Capitan upgrade permissions.
On all of the machines I have upgraded to OS X El Capitan, my /usr/local
directory has changed ownership. Since this message shows up as an error
during `brew update`, I figured it would be good to beef up the
explanation.
Closes Homebrew/homebrew#44670.
