postinstall: write output to log file #1270

Description

@ldennington

Today GCM's postinstall script, which runs after the macOS installer to create symlinks, install Homebrew (if needed), etc. is something of a black box. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to diagnose installer-related issues such as #916. This can be mitigated by updating the postinstall script to write basic output/error information to a log file to improve the debugging experience.
