Description
Referring to the docs at https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp#download-binary-files-from-a-mirror we should be able to set a binary download mirror for modules like:
canvas_binary_host_mirror=https://artifactory.or.some.other.mirror/path/to/node-canvas-prebuilt/ yarnpkg --verbose
This fails to set a mirror as far as I can tell, but in npm this works. Any ideas why? With some pointers I'd be happy to open a PR if this really is an issue and not just me being a newb! 👋

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the documented canvas_binary_host_mirror command and compare its behavior under yarnpkg and npm. Trace how node-pre-gyp receives and resolves the mirror setting; done means the yarn invocation uses the configured binary mirror as npm does.
