Hermes: Always use Unix Makefiles for Apple build, and use all available cores

Summary:
Hermes' build scripts use the Ninja build utility if available, otherwise they default to Unix Makefiles. When Unix Makefiles were used, builds would take far too long due to the use of a single core.

To reduce the surface area of issues that may arise as we switch to building Hermes from source, we will now focus on a single build system using Unix Makefiles. We will also ensure all available cores are used when building on macOS.
