404 logic change

[bryancuster]

It seems like 7967d92 changed the way 404s are treated.

For node 12 and 1.3.4 the exist code is 1 and npm ERR! code E404 is printed to the terminal
For node 14 and 1.3.4 the exist code is 1 and npm ERR! code E404 is printed to the terminal
For node 16 and 1.3.4 the exist code is 1 and npm ERR! code E404 is printed to the terminal

For node 12 and 1.3.3 things are all good
For node 14 and 1.3.3 things are all good
For node 16 and 1.3.3 can-npm-publish/lib/can-npm-publish.js:68:37 throws an Unexpected end of JSON input/undefined error

Here is my output for node 16 and 1.3.4:

I've fixed this error in #20
Please try https://github.com/azu/can-npm-publish/releases/tag/v1.3.5

📝 npm 7(Node 16) has a bug in --json. #20 includes a workaround, but it may be not complete.
