I'm not sure it's worth complicating this too much, including brew commands
means we need to keep up with brew development to make they are still relevant.

Since the package page for the postgresql15 package lists all the other
postgresqlXX packages available, why not just link to that (changing it to @16
when that's available on brew)? The page also doesn't say Braumeister
anywhere, so we should perhaps change that while at it?

The attached small diff updates the link with the above. Thoughts?
