Disable Homebrew Auto Update

Homebrew will do self update when we install a package. Sometimes this is not what we want. We are okay using an old version of Homebrew and some old packages.

To prevent Homebrew doing automatic update just set an environment variable named `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE`.

$ HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 brew install [PACKAGE]
