Cli: [BUG] `prefix`-sub-command and global installes ignore configured prefix

[KilianKilmister]

Current Behavior:

the sub-command npm prefix logs /usr/local and that's also where it tries to make global installs (obviously raising an EACCES error).
for other things, options are correctly resolved eg. npm config <command> -g will access the corect configs

Expected Behavior:

global installs going to the folder specified in prefix

Steps To Reproduce:

have a prefix defind in the configs

run npm i <@some/package> -g

Environment:

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.6

Node: 14.8.0

npm: v7-beta.8

should have been fixed in v7.0.0-beta.11 please let us know if you get a chance to try it again 😊

@ruyadorno looks like it works.

Now I finally don't have to use npm exec npm install <pkg> -g anymore. It looked especially ridiculous when installing the subsequent npm-beta version.
