npm: don't build as root

[ryandesign@…]

In r84119 npm was modified to build as root, because otherwise this happens:

npm not ok
make: *** [man1/adduser.1] Error 1

As we see npm is trying to write into my home directory. (Specifically, it is trying to install a couple node modules there that are used to build the manpages.)

Here is a patch to no longer build as root and no longer try to install the node modules to the user's home directory. (Instead, they're installed into the workpath.)
