Gonçalo M. c37e2a5d9e chore(npm): Update release npm action to stop using tokens (#30778)
Issue number: internal

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

- Release workflows still inject a long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` via `.npmrc`,
so publishes do not use npm’s trusted OIDC flow.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- The shared `actions/publish-npm` composite action now configures
`setup-node` with the npm registry, upgrades npm in place, and publishes
with `--provenance` without writing `.npmrc`.
- `release-dev.yml`, `release-nightly.yml`, and `release-production.yml`
call into that trusted flow by removing the token input and (for
production) inlining the same OIDC setup before `npm run release.ci`.
- Allows npm to authenticate through trusted publishing requirements
[docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers](https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers).
- Step names were refreshed with emojis, but there are no other
behavioral changes.

## Other information

<!-- Any other information that is important to this PR such as
screenshots of how the component looks before and after the change. -->

- These changes align the Ionic release automation with npm’s
trusted-publisher enforcement while keeping the existing Lerna
build/publish process intact.
