Feature Request:

Replace prebuild-install with prebuildify

Motivation:

prebuildify ships prebuilt binaries inside the npm package in lieu of storing them on github.
prebuild-install itself currently recommends using prebuildify over prebuild-install

This provides a lower friction installation experience for the end user, especially for those behind a firewall or in enterprise environments where access to github is limited. prebuild-install can be configured with a host mirror, but this adds further complication and isnt always straightforward as evidenced by the several issues created surrounding the inability to reach the prebuilt binaries on github.

prebuildify also is compatible with N-API
