fix(js): fix npm dist-tag error handling TypeError in release-publish executor (#32289)
### Summary
Fixes a TypeError in the Nx release-publish executor that occurs when
`npm dist-tag add` fails, preventing users from seeing the actual npm
error message.
### Problem
When `npm dist-tag add` fails during `nx release publish`, users see a
JavaScript TypeError instead of the actual npm error:
```
npm dist-tag add error:
Something unexpected went wrong when processing the npm dist-tag add output
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'summary')
at runExecutor (/node_modules/@nx/js/src/executors/release-publish/release-publish.impl.js:207:50)
```
### Root Cause
The error handler attempts to access `stdoutData.error.summary` without
checking if `error` exists. Since npm dist-tag outputs errors to stderr
(not stdout), the parsed stdout is typically an empty object `{}`,
causing `stdoutData.error` to be `undefined`. Accessing `.summary` on
`undefined` throws a TypeError.
### Solution
Added optional chaining (`?.`) when accessing error properties to
prevent TypeErrors:
```javascript
// Before (throws TypeError):
if (stdoutData.error.summary) { ... }
// After (safe):
if (stdoutData.error?.summary) { ... }
```
### Example
**Before this fix:**
```bash
$ nx release publish
npm dist-tag add error:
Something unexpected went wrong when processing the npm dist-tag add output
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'summary')
```
**After this fix:**
```bash
$ nx release publish
npm dist-tag add error:
# (The actual npm error from stderr is shown, or if no JSON error, the code continues gracefully)
```
