If brew gets a version of Python before the released version of pyenv, then pyenv installation will fail. This is the currently the case with Python 3.8.4 which is in brew, but not yet in a released version of pyenv.

This adds an environment variable $LATEST_PYTHON_3 that can be used to override the version discovered from brew.

I didn't add this to the README because there wasn't an obvious place for it and it should be needed very, very infrequently and hopefully the error message is clear enough.

SilverSearcher isnt available by default, so use grep instead.
