build: build opt to set local location of headers

Some linux distroes install headers through their package managers. When headers are locally installed we'd like them to be used. Add a build time configuration option --use-prefix-to-find-headers that will will suggest to node-gyp to look for headers based on the prefix A PR to node-gyp will use this value when building addons to automatially find and use the headers if they have been installed locally Signed-off-by: Michael Dawson <[email protected]> PR-URL: #51525 Reviewed-By: Richard Lau <[email protected]> Reviewed-By: Luigi Pinca <[email protected]>
