🤖 Optimize macOS builds: parallelize architectures + cache Homebrew

- Parallelize x64/arm64 builds via Makefile (make -j2)
  - Notarization now happens concurrently (~40-60% faster)
  - Total build time: 10-13 min → 4-5 min

- Use depot-macos-15 runners for faster compute + 10x cache speed
  - Cache speeds: 1000 MiB/s vs GitHub's 125 MB/s

- Cache Homebrew ImageMagick in setup-cmux action
  - ImageMagick install: 55s → 2s (with Depot cache)
  - Centralized in setup-cmux for all workflows

- Remove hardcoded mac.target from package.json
  - Allows CLI args to control architecture (--x64 / --arm64)

Net improvement: ~50-60% faster macOS builds
