Use NPM Token GitHub Action

Use an NPM token within an .npmrc file inside GitHub actions. Scoped packages are the primary use case.

WARNING

If you commit after this action runs, you will likely leak your NPM token secret in your newly created .npmrc file. Please use GitIgnore Parser to fully prevent this from occurring.
