Homebrew now installs Protobuf version 3 by default, which doesn't currently compile. So we should recommend installing Protobuf 2.6.x from the versions tap instead.
Should probably be backported to the 0.13 branch.

I'd add a brief note explaining the protobuf 2.6 requirement. Otherwise, it looks good to me.

Ref: #8430
For 0.14 I'd prefer that it just builds with protobuf 3.x (as this is going to pop up everywhere), but this is a good intermediate solution. Added the needs backport tag.
