Update development tool setup guide to use Clojure.org homebrew recipe
https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started

Background
Currently Homebrew will install OpenJDK 13, which is not a long term support (LTS) version of Java and will be depreciated as soon the next version is released.

Clojure is not tested on these transitory releases and is not guaranteed to work.

We should recommend avoiding Homebrew and installing openjdk manually.

Setting JAVA_HOME can help if you have an existing Java installation, but not all Java tooling will respect this environment variable or may be over-ridden by the path precedence.
