Reproduction steps

1. Run pnpm install. It will not run node-gyp rebuild.
2. Run npm install, it will run node-gyp rebuild

Describe the Bug

pnpm doesn't default the install script to node-gyp rebuild when binding.gyp exists and there is no preinstall and install script defined like npm does for the local project.

Expected Behavior

It should behave the same as npm.
