When
--prefix
is used, both the local and global prefix values are setto be identical. This is functionally broken because their directory
structures are inherently different (for instance, in posix the tree is
in
lib/node_modules
in the global prefix).This commit makes npm exec ignore the global folders if it detects both
local and global prefix are identical.
Closes #5268
