Instruct macos users to use avr-gcc@7 (#3337)

If you run `brew install avr-gcc`, you get a version that has
compatibility issues with LUFA. I updated the getting started guide for
osx, the qmk_install setup script, and added a section to the FAQ for
folks like me who accidentally updated avr-gcc past 7.

### avr-gcc 8.1 and LUFA
If you updated your avr-gcc to above 7 you may see errors involving LUFA. For example:
`lib/lufa/LUFA/Drivers/USB/Class/Device/AudioClassDevice.h:380:5: error: 'const' attribute on function returning 'void'`
For now, you need to rollback avr-gcc to 7 in brew.
