Updated the CPython build instructions to provide separate commands for Unix and macOS.

The Unix instructions retain the existing nproc command, while macOS now uses sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu to detect the number of logical CPU cores.

This improves the accuracy and usability of the build instructions for macOS users.

Closes #1959

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
