Current Behavior

I noticed the deprecation warning for --global and changed over to --location=global. However I found that this doesn't work from scripts in package.json. The parameter seems to be silently ignored, whereas --global works and with no deprecation warning. The same thing happens with --location global, -L=global and -L global, all of which work outside package.json scripts.

Expected Behavior

--location=global (and other notations) should work from package.json scripts. I would also expect the deprecation warning to be printed for --global.

Steps To Reproduce

1. From a fresh npm project (npm init -y).
2. Set the package.json "test" script to npm install --location=global stylelint.
3. Run npm run test.
4. Note that stylelint is installed locally and added as a dependency in package.json.
