macOS Brew formula needs updating #267

Description

@ahrib

Hey there, thanks for creating and maintaining such an awesome tool.

I use homebrew to install this on macOS and noticed two things

  1. Homebrew formula links to an old version v0.641, instead of the current v0.651
  2. There is a message stating the formula is deprecated because it is not available via HTTPS & it will be disabled on 2027-01-05.

It looks like that the formula links to downloads from the HTTP website instead of Github.

I've tried updating references for the formula locally, while builds succeed, the tests fail

i.e. brew test --retry lrzip results in
