If you --ignore-scripts when installing electron currently, it'll fail
to write the path.txt file and thus fail to use the override dist path.
Open to other solutions - just hoping to be able to use a prebuilt
electron binary with the default package without having to muck around
with it installing an unused version.
When the electron child process exits with a signal, the close event
handler receives code null and the cli wrapper would silently exit
successfully. Fix it to log a message and exit with a nonzero code in
this case.

This is a breaking change, as it causes the `electron` module to require
Node 4.x (which has been EOL'd anyway).
Upgrading adds features such as a customizable cache location (via the
`ELECTRON_CACHE` environment variable).
Originally merged in https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/10922 but
was reverted because it was going into a version of Electron that did
not allow breaking changes.
* Provide an easy way to use a local build of Electron
For instance from ~/projects/electron/out/D
* document ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH
* Make the linter happy
* Tweak ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH docs
Switched to defaulting back to string 'false' as that is how it was already doing strictSSL and electron-download treats and checks both against bools so would make sense to keep it the same across the document.
Downloading from cache causes a checksum check that causes some builds to fail(see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8653) that that rely on stable electron releases(pre electron v1.7.0 beta) where chromedrive is not named based on electron version. This will add the option to always force a redownload.
