Set platform npm environment variable

See original GitHub issue

Version: 10.8.1

Target: all

prebuild now fully supports Electron and works great together with electron-builder and the npmSkipBuildFromSource option.

Additionally it would be great if electron-builder could expose the platform it builds for to a npm environment variable (npm_config_platform) during the rebuilding of native modules.

This way prebuild would be able to download the correct prebuilt binary for the desired target. This would make multi platform builds with native dependencies possible.

@lgeiger I actually added support for this on my own branch but never PR’d it because it was a bit hacky.
