Update all actions to use Ninja instead of make (#1256)

Description I think it is well documented by now that Ninja is a more efficient build system than make, especially in parallel. This PR changes all CI actions to use Ninja instead of make. This is just a simple change in the cmake configuration file and running ninja instead of make Testing Nothing should be altered anywhere, ideally it should just decrease slightly the CI run time.
