lifecycle_hooks_envs prefixed with npm_config_ should get passed to gyp/lifecycle hook (#1294)

* Aliased platforms.

* Pass npm_config_ prefixed env_properties to lifecycle hook.

 We need to explicitly pass `npm_config_` prefixed env-variables as configuration to the lifecycle hook (or gyp).
 1. rules_js allow to provide per action_type environment using `lifecycle_hooks_envs`.
 2. One of the important use-cases is to able provide mirror where prebuild binaries are stored:
    (see: https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp#download-binary-files-from-a-mirror
    by {module_name}_binary_host_mirror)
 3. Such flags are taken (by gyp) from environment variables:
    https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/blob/a74f5e367c0d71033620aa0112e7baf7f3515b9d/lib/util/versioning.js#L316
 4. Unfortunetely pnpm/lifecycle drops all npm_ prefixed env-variables prior to calling lifecycle hook:
      https://github.com/pnpm/npm-lifecycle/blob/99ac0429025bdf1303879723d3fbd57c585ae8a1/index.js#L351
    and later recreates it based on explicitly given config:
      https://github.com/pnpm/npm-lifecycle/blob/99ac0429025bdf1303879723d3fbd57c585ae8a1/index.js#L408
 5. So we need to perform reversed process: generate rawConfig based on env-variables to preserve them.
