[packager] Custom download strategy for homebrew

Discussed in #1554

I would like to use a custom download strategy for downloading the artefacts.

require_relative "lib/private"
.....
  if OS.linux? && Hardware::CPU.intel?
    URL "<url>", using: GitHubPrivateRepositoryReleaseDownloadStrategy
    sha256 "<sha>"
  end
  if OS.mac? && Hardware::CPU.arm?
    url "<url>", using: GitHubPrivateRepositoryReleaseDownloadStrategy
    sha256 "<sha>"
  end

Is there a way to configure this in jReleaser?

goreleaser has this:

    # Allows you to set a custom download strategy. Note that you'll need
    # to implement the strategy and add it to your tap repository.
    # Example: https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook#specifying-the-download-strategy-explicitly
    download_strategy: CurlDownloadStrategy

    # Allows you to add a custom require_relative at the top of the formula
    # template.
    custom_require: custom_download_strategy

Thanks @aalmiray for tackling it so quickly

You can try this feature using the early-access builds of the CLI.
