BREAKING CHANGE: npm will no longer attempt to resolve the path to node via whichnode. process.execPath is already set by Node to the resolved real path of the node binary, so the lookup was redundant. Scripts that expected npm to override process.execPath with a PATH-resolved (potentially symlinked) node path may be affected.
