Lowercase APPNAME on macOS Homebrew #364

The latest release of platformdirs contains support for Homebrew-installed software, under the /opt/homebrew directory on macOS. In order for Jupyter to support this, we should also check to see if the Jupyter software is installed/managed by Homebrew on macOS, and if so, treat the APPNAME the same way we do on Linux: lowercase, rather than capitalized.

Worth changing, but at least by default the filesystem is case preserving, but not case sensitive, in which case this is more of an aesthetic issue. (But it is at least possible to have case sensitive macOS filesystems.)
