Make NPM_TOKEN optional for package release

Same as w3c/webref#1744 for browser-specs.

Classic tokens are no longer supported by npm. We may still want to run the
release script from a local machine using a fine-grained access token, but
these tokens expire after 90 days at most and are thus not suitable for our
release process.

I set up OpenID Connect between the `browser-specs` and `web-specs` packages
in npm and GitHub Actions and dropped the former `NPM_TOKEN` secret.

This update adjusts the release script not to fail if such a token cannot be
found. The call to `npmPublish` gets adjusted accordingly only to pass the
token if it exists.
