WIP: Reorganize npm registry docs

Tim Rizzi requested to merge trizzi-master-patch-76466 into master

What does this MR do?

I noticed the NPM Registry docs have been growing and some duplicate content has been sneaking in. This MR, does a few things.

  1. It reorganizes the authentication portion to deemphasize use of Oauth, since that was more of a workaround prior to supporting PAT
  2. I moved the UI screenshot down, to the uploading a package section, where it is more relevant.
  3. I removed some duplicate content.

I'd like to add a section on installing a package and how to do that. But, that can be a separate MR.
