Beta npm build

Maintainers can publish one Capacitor Plus workspace package from this PR to npm for fast testing.

Comment /publish-beta <package> after the PR checks are green.

Examples:

/publish-beta core
/publish-beta cli
/publish-beta @capacitor-plus/core

If exactly one workspace package changed, /publish-beta without a package will use that package.

Packages:

• core (@capacitor-plus/core)
• cli (@capacitor-plus/cli)
• android (@capacitor-plus/android)
• ios (@capacitor-plus/ios)

The workflow will:

• publish a prerelease package on the beta tag
• update this comment with the install command

Security note: beta publish is only enabled for branches inside this repository.
