Support specifying dist-tags for monorepo package bumps (#42146)

Summary:
Currently our CI will auto-tag any `npm publish` as `latest` for the monorepo packages. This is because [we do not specify a tag](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/scripts/monorepo/find-and-publish-all-bumped-packages.js#L104), so npm will [default to `latest`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-dist-tag#description). We encountered a similar issue for `react-native` awhile ago and fixed that with [always specifying a tag](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/scripts/npm-utils.js#L84), with the explicit opt-in for `latest`.

yarn and npm will resolve `*` dependencies using `latest`. This will be a problem for any React Native version that uses `*` deps. We have actively tried to remove these `*` versions but older patches may still contain them.

When we do a monorepo package bump, it may be for 0.71 and for a user who is initializing a 0.72 version project (that still has * deps), they will receive monorepo packages of version `0.71.x`, which is not compatible. (React Native monorepo packages do not faithfully follow semver)

This change allows us to specify what tags to use and suggest tags based on what branch you are on and asks for confirmation

```
> branch 0.73-stable
? Select suggested npm tags. (Press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, <i> to invert selection)
❯◉ "0.73-stable"
 ◉ "latest"
? Confirm these tags for *ALL* packages being bumped: "0.73-stable","latest" (Y/n)

> branch 0.72-stable
? Select suggested npm tags. (Press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, <i> to invert selection)
❯◉ "0.72-stable"
 ◯ "latest"
? Confirm these tags for *ALL* packages being bumped: "0.72-stable" (Y/n)

> branch main
? Select suggested npm tags. (Press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, <i> to invert selection)
❯◉ "nightly"
? Confirm these tags for *ALL* packages being bumped: "nightly" (Y/n)
```

## Changelog:

[INTERNAL] [CHANGED] - Support dist-tags in publishing monorepo packages to avoid default "latest" tag.
