Fix broken links related to the new "Trusted publishing" page (#1690)

<!-- What / Why --> <!-- Describe the request in detail. What it does and why it's being changed. --> The internal links added in https://github.com/npm/documentation/pull/1674 followed the on-disk paths and did not respect that the URL paths use a different scheme, as explained in https://github.com/npm/documentation/blob/4c574b89e23515d8411e5ec52624d6a932b874e0/CONTRIBUTING.md#urls: > ### URLs > Note that for backward compatibility reasons, the on-disk paths are not precisely identical to the URLs for the documentation. To keep URLs expressive but still short, intermediate directories are removed from a page's URL. > > (...) > > You might (understandably) expect the page "Creating Node.js modules" to be URL-wise beneath `contributing-packages-to-the-registry`, but unfortunately, you would be wrong. To keep URLs short, the intermediate folder paths are removed from pages, so "Creating Node.js modules" becomes `https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-node-js-modules`. Also see https://github.com/npm/documentation/blob/4c574b89e23515d8411e5ec52624d6a932b874e0/CONTENT-MODEL.md#content-structure: > ## Content structure > > Docs are grouped by topic. > > - Top-level doc set (Example: https://docs.npmjs.com/packages-and-modules) > - Categories (Example: https://docs.npmjs.com/packages-and-modules/introduction-to-packages-and-modules) > - **Articles (Example: https://docs.npmjs.com/about-packages-and-modules)** As a result, these links did not work at https://docs.npmjs.com/. This PR fixes them. ## References Related to https://github.com/npm/documentation/pull/1674 (all links fixed in this PR were introduced there) <!-- Examples: Related to #0 Depends on #0 Blocked by #0 Fixes #0 Closes #0 -->

30 - **Read-only**: A read-only token can only be used to download packages from the registry. It will have permission to read any private package that you have access to. This is recommended for automation and workflows where you are installing packages, but not publishing new ones.
31
32 - - **Automation**: An automation token can download packages and publish new ones, but if you have two-factor authentication (2FA) configured on your account, it will **not** be enforced. You can use an automation token in continuous integration workflows and other automation systems to publish a package even when you cannot enter a one-time passcode.

If you have two-factor authentication configured on your account, you will be required to enter a one-time passcode when using a publish token. This is recommended for interactive workflows such as a CLI.
