fix: create packages being broken for scoped packages

[lino-levan]

🧭 Context

I noticed a couple of bugs on the create package suggestions and wondered what the root cause was. This was it. According to the npm docs (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-init), @scope/create-package should be called with npm create @scope/package. Code existed that handled that case, but it was... wrong? Idk how that happened. I also noticed we didn't handle @scope/create correctly either so I fixed both and added tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes modify the getCreateShortName function in the package analysis utility to provide scope-aware handling for scoped create-* packages. For scoped packages, the function now preserves the package scope in its return value. When the package name is create or starts with create-, the function returns the scope with the appropriate suffix. For example, @scope/create returns @scope, and @scope/create-foo returns @scope/foo. Non-scoped packages maintain their existing behaviour. Corresponding test cases have been updated to reflect these new scoped package handling patterns.
