rht 00e057bf44 install-node: bypass nvm wrapper for faster node startup.
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.
