🤖 Optimize macOS builds: parallelize architectures + cache Homebrew (#227)

## Problem

Build macOS job takes 4-13 minutes, with:
- Sequential notarization (x64 then arm64): ~7-10 min
- ImageMagick install from scratch: ~55s every run

## Solution

### 1. Parallelize Architecture Builds

Updated `Makefile` to build x64 and arm64 in parallel via `make -j2`:
- Notarization now happens concurrently instead of sequentially
- electron-builder is safe to run in parallel (separate output dirs,
caches)

### 2. Use Depot macOS Runners

Switch to `depot-macos-15` runners:
- 30% faster compute
- 10x faster caching (1000 MiB/s vs 125 MB/s)
- Built-in cache acceleration for `actions/cache`

### 3. Cache Homebrew in setup-cmux

Moved ImageMagick install + caching to `setup-cmux` action:
- Centralized for all workflows
- Uses Depot's 10x faster cache
- Install time: 55s → 2s (cache hit)

### 4. Remove Hardcoded Architecture Targets

Removed `mac.target` array from `package.json`:
- Allows Makefile to control architecture via CLI args
- Enables parallel builds with `--x64` and `--arm64`

## Impact

**Before:** 10-13 minutes
**After:** 4-5 minutes
**Speedup:** ~50-60% faster

Timeline:
- Build once: ~30s
- Package x64 + arm64 in parallel: ~4 min (limited by slower of the two)

## Testing

First build will be cache miss (55s for ImageMagick). Subsequent builds
will be ~2s.
