Environments:

• Prettier Version: 3.0.0
• Running Prettier via: CLI
• Runtime: Node.js v16
• Operating System: Linux
• Prettier plugins (if any): Well that's the issue ...

Steps to reproduce:

Context: trying to update a monorepo pre-commit hook to Prettier 3.0. I've worked through a bunch of issues related to the sync removals, but now I'm left with a change in how Prettier searches for plugins.

In Prettier 2.8.8, I could point it to the central location of the prettier tooling in the monorepo via setting NODE_PATH. But in Prettier 3.x

Expected behavior:

Tries to load plugins from NODE_PATH directories as a fallback.

Actual behavior:

Ignores NODE_PATH when trying to load plugins.

Running under strace suggests that the only directories it looks in are those derived from the target file's directory, or just $PWD in some cases, which is very hard to make work in a monorepo environment.
