[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit 1/3] ci: fix --parallel argument for MacOS runners

[Sergey Bronnikov]

Igor,

I found that hw.ncpu sysctl setting is deprecated and it is recommended 
to use

hw.logicalcpu, hw.logicalcpu_max, hw.physicalcpu, or hw.physicalcpu_max.

I believe hw.logicalcpu is the best choice for our case.

macOS manual pages are unavailable on apple.com [1], but there are other 
places:
[2], [3], [4].


1. 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/sysctlbyname.3.html
2. https://www.unix.com/man-page/mojave/3/sysctlbyname/
3. Use of deprecated hw.ncpu https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1252
4. sysctl name "hw.ncpu" (HW_NCPU) is deprecated in Mac OS X 
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/8594
