Cli: [BUG] tarball de publicação do npm obteve o erro `ENOTDIR: não é um diretório`

Comportamento atual:

Com um comando como npm publish /path/to/tarball/from/npm-pack.tgz , npm apresentará um erro com:

$ npm publish ./dr-js-core-0.4.0-dev.8.tgz
npm ERR! code ENOTDIR
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path ./dr-js-core-0.4.0-dev.8.tgz/package.json
npm ERR! errno -20
npm ERR! ENOTDIR: not a directory, open './dr-js-core-0.4.0-dev.8.tgz/package.json'

Comportamento esperado:

Deveria apenas publicar o tarball, atualmente o npm parece pensar que esta é uma pasta para executar npm pack .

Passos para reproduzir:

Deve ser capaz de testar com:
`` `script de shell
mkdir -p ./test-npm-publish
cd ./test-npm-publish
npm init - sim
pacote npm
npm publish test-npm-publish-1.0.0.tgz

### Environment:
