Detect if we were run as a result of `npm publish`. This is intended to allow you to
easily have prepublish lifecycle scripts that don't run when you run `npm install`.
```
$ npm install --save-dev in-publish
in-publish@1.0.0 node_modules/in-publish
```
Then edit your package.json to have:
```json
"scripts": {
"prepublish": "in-publish && thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install || not-in-publish"
}
```
Now when you run:
```
$ npm install
```
Then `thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install` won't be run, but...
```
$ npm publish
```
And `thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install` will be run.
It's worth noting that the `prepublish` lifecycle is _ALSO_ called when you build a tarball, so:
```
$ npm pack
```
Will call your `prepublish` lifecycle, but with the example above,
`thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install` won't be run.
If you want this, you can use another helper included here:
```json
"scripts": {
"prepublish": "not-in-install && thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install || in-install"
}
```
The above will run your `thing-I-dont-want-on-dev-install` on `publish` and
on `pack` but not on `install`.
