Alternate binary locations

[MrHavard]

Due to proxy issues we can't download the binaries via the install script. Is there anyway to provide an alternate path to retrieve the binaries from an internal repo or NPM/artifactory location?

const url = `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imagemin/gifsicle-bin/v${pkg.version}/vendor/`;

When behind a proxy, a direct connect to raw.githubusercontent.com may fail. If the url in this code can be changed in environment variable, the problem can be solved.

Issues like kevva/bin-wrapper#50 and kevva/bin-wrapper#62 is placed over two years without response. In fact, there are a lot Alternate binary locations maintained by community, like https://raw.github.cnpmjs.org/imagemin/, and we can replace the domain name and solve the problem here in this code.

That's a pretty weird thing to say when you looked at a PR adding alternative binary support to kevva/bin-wrapper that same day only a couple minutes beforehand
