Running CI on Mac OS X in Azure Pipelines is currently broken due to a moved
homebrew package.

Updates in V2: Johannes helped to make the step even more robust.

Thanks, -Stolee

     -    Preface the "brew install caskroom/cask/perforce" with the old
     -    way of installing perforce, and only try this method if the
     -    "brew install perforce" fails.
     +    So let's try to call `brew cask install perforce` first (which is what
     +    that error message suggests, in a most round-about way).

     +    The "caskroom" way was added in 672f51cb (travis-ci:
          fix Perforce install on macOS, 2017-01-22) and the justification
     -    is that the "brew install perforce" can fail due to a hash
     -    mis-match. The mismatch is due to the official Perforce distro
     -    updating the published binaries without updating the version
     -    string. CI servers are typically fresh virtual machines, so that
     -    issue should not arise in automated builds.
     +    is that the call "brew cask install perforce" can fail due to a checksum
     +    mismatch: the recipe simply downloads the official Perforce distro, and
     +    whenever that is updated, the recipe needs to be updated, too.
      
     -    Even if a build server is re-used and hits the hash mis-match,
     -    it will fall back to the "new" mechanism which is currently
     -    failing, but may be fixed independently of this change.
     +    CI servers are typically fresh virtual machines, but not always. To
     +    accommodate for that, let's try harder if `brew cask install perforce`
     +    fails, by specifically pulling the latest `master` of the
     +    `homebrew-cask` repository.
     +
     +    This will still fail, of course, when `homebrew-cask` falls behind
     +    Perforce's release schedule. But once it is updated, we can now simply
     +    re-run the failed jobs and they will pick up that update.
     +
     +    As for updating `homebrew-cask`: the beginnings of automating this in
     +    https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build?definitionId=11&_a=summary
     +    will be finished once the next Perforce upgrade comes around.
