Trick installation on MacOS documentation update (#1071)
* Trick installation on MacOS

Step 5 in the installation guide “Install cask to get java and xquartz” results in the following error: “Error: Cask 'java' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists. Did you mean one of these?”, then giving some other possible downloads. It seems that Java cannot be installed using home-brew in this way. The way around this I used was to install Java from Oracle’s website (https://www.java.com/en/download/) and the JDK from here (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk15-downloads.html), then install the other packages on their own. This has been tested to be working on macOS Catalina.

* macOS install documentation to install java with brew by default

I changed the URL for the JDK as well to go to their SE page, so that when java 16+ is released they can still find the latest JDK.
