When running make test-npm, make would use the node binary available in the PATH, which would most of the time not be the same binary as the one built from the source tree from where the make test-npm command in run. This can be confusing, as it can lead users to think that they tested npm with the version of node that was built from the current checkout of the source tree when it would actually run the tests with a completely different version. This change modifies the PATH environment variable for all commands that need to run the node binary to run npm's tests by adding the root of the local checkout as the first entry, so that the custom built node is always used.

This happened recently when testing an upgrade to a newer version of npm. |

LGTM if it works |
