Description

The binary host mirror environment variable does not work for packages with binary.module_name values containing more than one dash because it does not use replaceAll here: https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/blob/master/lib/util/versioning.js#L315. I encountered this trying to use the binary host mirror override with https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-javascript/blob/master/package.json#L19.

Research direction

Start at lib/util/versioning.js around line 315 and compare the binary host mirror environment-variable handling with the reported module_name case in confluent-kafka-javascript/package.json. Confirm that a module name containing multiple dashes produces the expected mirror override, then run the repository's relevant tests or test suite to verify the behavior.
