Bazel: Bazel 0.16.0 does not build on OS X 10.11 with Homebrew

[dslomov]

See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5058#issuecomment-410444117, potential release blocker for https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5058.

Let's attempt this:

1. Modify Homebrew recipe to not embed the JDK (as it should)
2. Require Java 1.9 on OS X

0.16.1 is also not on Homebrew, any update?

[greggdonovan]

@alexeagle It appears to be coming back starting with 0.16.1 as a Homebrew Cask shortly. See the bazel-discuss thread.

[mpassell]

The final message (as of right now) in the bazel-discuss thread would suggest that they're planning to go with a custom tap and then go back to directly supporting brew install bazel through that, rather than using cask.

[alexeagle]

I believe this is resolved, 0.16.1 is out, and the bazel blog documents the upgrade path

For others, landed here though the search - it's https://blog.bazel.build/2018/08/22/bazel-homebrew.html
