Deprecate brew (un)linkapps.
Unfortunately `brew linkapps` cannot behave nicely with e.g. Spotlight
using either aliases or symlinks and Homebrew formulae do not build
"proper" `.app` bundles that can be relocated. Instead, please consider
using `brew cask` and migrate formulae using `.app`s to casks.
