With signal I replaced the binary node modules with source ones. I also make
sure that there are no shared libraries or prebuild .node file around.
Most of the time a `node-gyp rebuild` is what you need to rebuild the
binaries.
nodejs-signal-ringrtc was not that easy as it requires webrtc. This also uses
ffmpeg and I need a system ffmpeg for that. Also webrtc only offers a static
library. So you need to use that to then build ringrtc (rust) and node glue
code.
It took me a long long time to figure several things out as there is no
documentation how to cleanly build for distributions. I'm making it better in
small steps whenever I learn something.
