grpc-tools install fails when running npm ci

01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE

As reported upstream

Installing a package with `grpc-tools` as a dependency using `npm ci` fails due to `./node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp: No such file or directory` (on Windows, it will fail with `'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command`). I've encountered this before and it seems to be a recurring issue with #365, but it is back with `grpc-tools` 1.7.0 and npm `6.8.0`.

Not a benchmark task.

In a clean container the reported failure did not reproduce, or the known fix did not make the project run.

### Problem description

Installing a package with `grpc-tools` as a dependency using `npm ci` fails due to `./node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp: No such file or directory` (on Windows, it will fail with `'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command`). I've encountered this before and it seems to be a recurring issue with #365, but it is back with `grpc-tools` 1.7.0 and npm `6.8.0`.



### Reproduction steps

```bash

npm install grpc-tools

npm ci

```



This error comes up in Travis CI builds where `npm ci` is used as well.



### Environment

 - Ubuntu 18.04

 - Node 10.12.0

- npm 6.8.0

 - grpc-tools 1.7.0



### Additional context

I believe I've narrowed down the issue to the `install` script in `package.json`, which deviates from the script for the main `grpc` package. I'm opening a PR for it separately.
