+Subject: build: restore clang as default compiler on macOS

+Refs https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/6e0a2bb54c5bbeff0e9e33e1a0c683ed980a8a0f
+configures the value at build time which doesn't work in Electron
+as it depends on the environment in which the headers got generated from which
+cannot reflect the value per platform. It works for Node.js since
+node-gyp will use the result of `process.config` that reflects the environment
+in which the binary got built.
