Improve the documentation (installing of pdftoppm), particularly of macOS #1

On http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/ppmcheckpdf/ppmcheckpdf.pdf the documentation show how to install pdftoppm on Windows and Ubuntu/Debian Linux.

For Linux and macOS, there is an alternate way, with the homebrew package manager (not a package in LaTeX sense). The homepage is at https://brew.sh.

As the steps here are (too) detailed and long, perhaps you can only say in the manual:

install the homebrew package manager, then run brew install poppler

1. Install the homebrew package manager

Paste /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" on a Terminal (Mac) or a shell prompt (Linux)

Notes:

2. Install poppler with thebrew command

Paste brew install poppler on a Terminal or a prompt shell.

Note: This will install a lot of dependencies. This is expected.
