To make things easier for people switching from Aquamacs and other
GUI-centric builds.

This also matches upstream, which defaults to building --with-ns. If
--with-ns and --with-x are both specified, it uses the nextstep window
system; but issue a warning in caveats since now brew install --with-x11 will actually build a Cocoa app.

I'd rather we didn't do this due to the --with-x11 confusion and because I'd rather we had fewer apps in Homebrew than build GUIs by default rather than more.

I guess the only big advantage of this change is bottling the Cocoa version, since I'm willing to bet that it's what most people want.

Homebrew/homebrew-cask#15603 is worth a read for my thoughts around this. I'd really like a future where we ship no .apps and those all live in Homebrew Cask.
