Setup php-mycrypt on macOS (and versions of Mac OS X)

These steps should have been mentioned in the prerequisites of the Laravel Installation Guide, since I'm surely not the only person trying to get Laravel running on macOS.

Install

Install Mcrypt using Homebrew

# PHP 7
brew install php70-mcrypt

# PHP 5
brew install php56-mcrypt --without-homebrew-php

Add this line to /private/etc/php.ini:

# PHP 7
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php70-mcrypt/7.0.x/mcrypt.so"

# PHP 5
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php56-mcrypt/5.6.x/mcrypt.so"

You are ready to go!
