By default, NodeJS searches global modules in /usr/lib/node, but NPM
installs them in /usr/lib/node_modules/. Therefore by default, if one
installs modules with BR2_PACKAGE_NODEJS_MODULES_ADDITIONAL, they are
not accessible by NodeJS, unless by passing a
NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules/ variable. Since this is not obvious,
and it's nicer when things work out of the box, we simply patch NodeJS
to look for modules at the right place.
