npm staged publishing now supports creating new packages

Automated excerpt

You can now create a new npm package with npm stage publish, using a local session or a granular access token, including a stage-only token. This lets you create packages from your automated workflows without a manual first publish. This works for public scoped and unscoped packages, and private scoped packages.
