Fix up make pippack command for building source package for PyPI (#3199)

* Now `make pippack` works without any manual action: it will produce
  xgboost-[version].tar.gz, which one can use by typing
  `pip3 install xgboost-[version].tar.gz`.
* Detect OpenMP-capable compilers (clang, gcc-5, gcc-7) on MacOS
