and already used in CI, so they should be included in the build
instructions.

Currently we do not document how to run the test suite for native
modules or for npm. This commit updates BUILDING.md with the
information needed to do so. It includes a caveat about Node v4
and earlier requiring `make install` to be run before running the npm
test suite.

Building Node.js on OS X requires XCode (because node-gyp requires
XCode). Add that information to BUILDING.md.
Additionally, this changes references to `Macintosh` in BUILDING.md to
refer to `OS X`. This is consistent with the way other references are to
operating system families (`Unix`, `Windows`) and not brand names or
hardware architectures.

This makes README.md easier to consume and likely less
confusing for people that get it as part of a binary download.
