Docs: Improve doc note about configuration from brew (#32659)

grafana.ini file used by the brew service[1] will need to be edited
directly.

By default, the configuration file is located at `/usr/local/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`. For a Grafana instance installed using Homebrew, edit the `grafana.ini` file directly. Otherwise, add a configuration file named `custom.ini` to the `conf` folder to override any of the settings defined in `conf/defaults.ini`.
