test(install): cover bundled-Node npm global prefix redirect

Guards that install.sh and node-bootstrap.sh redirect the bundled Node's
npm global prefix to the command link dir's parent via a prefix-local
global npmrc, so `npm install -g` binaries land on PATH instead of the
off-PATH $HERMES_HOME/node/bin.

"""Regression tests for the Hermes-managed Node's npm global prefix.
When the installer falls back to a bundled Node under ``$HERMES_HOME/node``,
npm's default global prefix is that Node dir, so ``npm install -g <pkg>``
drops the package binary in ``$HERMES_HOME/node/bin`` which is NOT on PATH
(only the command link dir is) and is wiped on every Node upgrade. Users then
report "I can ``npm i -g`` but the package isn't usable on the command line".
The fix redirects the bundled Node's global prefix to the command link dir's
parent (so global bins land in the already-on-PATH link dir alongside
node/npm/npx), scoped to the bundled Node via its prefix-local global npmrc.
