Various brew update behaviour improvements
#16855
Conversation
- Output a message every time auto-update is run rather than a 3 second timer. This makes it more obvious that Homebrew isn't just sitting doing nothing for 2.9 seconds. - Output a message when running `brew update` so Homebrew doesn't just sit there silently doing nothing. - Update all taps when `brew update` is run, not just those hosted on GitHub. This makes it more obvious that people don't need to explictly run `brew update` "just in case". - As a result of this, remove `brew tap --force-auto-update` as it's no longer necessary.

Not a strong opinion, but feels nicer to try tweaking the 3 second timer before jumping to showing it all the time.

@carlocab I think having it (almost) immediately print output makes the output more responsive (and, in turn, Homebrew "feel" faster).

Trying this out I agree that having the immediate feedback feels nicer. Otherwise I wonder whether brew has started updating, or whether it's just blocked on loading files or something.
