[BLD] JS client release to GH packages + dev releases (#2173)

## Description of changes

*Summarize the changes made by this PR.*
 - Improvements & Bug fixes
	- Added support for releasing js client to GH packages
- Fixed the tag matching patterns to prevent unexpected tags to trigger
the WF, thus resulting in failure (existing error handling is still in
place)
- Added support for dev releases to GH packages only (we want to prevent
poluting npmjs with too many releases, as it is the primary distribution
channel for the js package)
- Implemented dev package naming convention to include sha of the merge
commit + GH action run it for provenance tracing

## Test plan
*How are these changes tested?*
