This replaces nvm in npm-wrapper by harcoding the path the way we do
with node. The main benefit is that this saves a few hundred
milliseconds every time we invoke npm.
This fixes a significant performance issue with LaTeX rendering (and
other things that invoked node) where starting up node took a few
hundred milliseconds due to nvm initialization.
Tweaked by tabbott to avoid copying the node binary itself, instead
using a tiny wrapper script.
This is important primarily because it's possible a future version of
node will expect to find libraries/dependencies/etc. installed via NVM
at some path related to the path of the node binary itself, and that's
more guaranteed with this new model.
Fixes#4618.
