brew -v was previously equivalent to brew --version, but it
currently returns the output of brew help. (This also occurs with
brew -x, where x is any single character.)

This is because the -? pattern matches - followed by any single
character. We need to quote it to capture the intended meaning.

`brew -v` was previously equivalent to `brew --version`, but it
currently returns the output of `brew help`. (This also occurs with
`brew -x`, where x is any single character.)

This is because the `-?` pattern matches `-` followed by any single
character. We need to quote it to capture the intended meaning.

`Tools.Tests.ps1` checks the version of `brew` with `--version` argument.

```powershell
    Describe "Homebrew" {
    It "homebrew" {
        "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew --version" | Should -ReturnZeroExitCode
    }
}
```

`SoftwareReport.Common.psm1` checks it with `-v` argument.

```powershell
    function Get-HomebrewVersion {
        $result = Get-CommandResult "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew --version"
        $result.Output -match "Homebrew (?<version>\d+\.\d+\.\d+)" | Out-Null
        return $Matches.version
    }
```

Generally, `--version` and `-v` are equivalent. But a recent bug in `brew` makes `-v` returns the output of `brew help`.

It's best to maintain consistency in version checks and explicitly use `--version` in both places.
