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.
