Pull request overview

Syncs the shared eng/common Azure Pipelines npm publishing job with the corresponding change from azure-sdk-tools PR 14343, aiming to ensure npm publishing/verification uses the intended public npm registry behavior.

Changes:

• Adds a step (when publishing to https://registry.npmjs.org/) to delete a repo-level .npmrc before running ESRP publishing.

[Copilot]

Deleting the repo-level .npmrc mutates the checked-out sources and can also remove unrelated npm settings (e.g., proxy/strict-ssl) that might be required for network access on some agents. A more deterministic approach is to leave the file alone and force npm view (in the tag verification step) to use ${{ parameters.Registry }} via --registry or NPM_CONFIG_REGISTRY, so the job always queries npmjs regardless of any .npmrc in the repo/workspace.
