Title: Homebrew 4.4 installation (#9203)

Build is currently failing when using the following syntax

./build.py -Ddist.dir=...

A workaround is to edit local.properties located under etc/. However, during install, Homebrew does not allow to edit any file outside the prefix.

To solve this, the home brew formula could:
- create a custom local.properties file under prefix/etc
- use this file to set dist.dir to prefix.

Then the omero formula would just need to call

./build.py -Dconfig.dir=(#prefix+etc)
