fix(js): show lifecycle script contents in publish executor, scrub version in dry-run (#23850)

<!-- Please make sure you have read the submission guidelines before

<!-- Please make sure that your commit message follows our format -->
<!-- Example: `fix(nx): must begin with lowercase` -->

## Current Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we have today -->

Lifecycle scripts related to publishing change the output of `npm
publish`, which mixes JSON with non-JSON content despite the `--json`
flag being set. Currently, we will error when attempting to parse the
whole thing as JSON.

The lifecycle scripts contents themselves are not shown to the user.

Additionally, during dry-run we have no choice but to print the version
that currently exists on disk, which can be confusing.

## Expected Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we should expect with the changes in this PR
-->

We extract and parse the JSON from the `npm publish` output, even when
it is mixed with other output. We also show the lifecycle script outputs
to the user, where applicable.

During dry-run, we replace the version in the publish output with a
placeholder to avoid confusion around what would be published.
