Corrected parameter for running tests on Windows. Without the corrected
parameters, Windows users encounter an error about failing to sign the
build, "Failed to sign exe", which can be discouraging to new Windows

`./tools/macosx-firewall.sh` fails if run before build step. Since the
suggestion comes before the build steps in the document, this change
clarifies that the script should be run after building.

Adds a note to the BUILDING doc to encourage parallelizing make. When I
first built node I didn't know this trick and thought that the build was
just stuck in an infinite loop after waiting for 10 minutes.

Currently, there are a number of popups that get displayed when running
the tests asking to accept incoming network connections. Rules can be
added manually to the socket firewall on Mac OS X but getting this right
might not be obvious and quite a lot of time can be wasted trying to get
the rules right. This script hopes to simplify things a little so that
it can be re-run when needed.
The script should be runnable from both the projects root directory and
from the tools directory, for example:
$ sudo ./tools/macosx-firewall.sh

markdown had a dispensation because 2 or more trailing spaces triggers a

whitespace found were mistakes, and the dispensation is now removed.

Only three files needed to be changed to conform:
1. BUILDING.md
2. CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
3. doc/onboarding-extras.md
Also, .remarkrc is updated to include the `first-heading-level: 1`
rule in order to catch similar issues in the future.

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.
