fix: update Homebrew install command to msdl-cli formula

Browse source 
homebrew/core already has an unrelated package literally named "msdl"
(a streaming-protocol downloader). brew install msdl silently
resolved to that instead of our tap, since Homebrew always prefers
core for a bare-name collision -- confirmed in production when a
user's `brew install msdl` pulled homebrew-core's msdl 1.2.7-r2
instead of ours. The tap's formula is renamed to msdl-cli
(starkSV/homebrew-msdl, separate repo) to fix this permanently; the
installed command itself is unaffected, still just `msdl`.
