fix(release scripts): backport fixes from 0.71 into main (#35258)

Summary:
This PR backport two fixes we did in 0.71 to unblock the release process:
* the change in `publish-npm` is needed because of the introduction of .strict() from 4f3ca8f
* the removal of the other script (added originally here e4b5d3e) is because:
  1) that step is not needed anymore (we don't publish/upload hermes artifacts to the GH release)
  2) by the time this job gets run the release crew has already setup the GH release
  3) the logic for the versioning was broken and even on the 0.71-rc pipeline it was tagging stuff as 1000.0.0
