[BUG] npm publish complains on bin field examples from npm docs

[mrazauskas]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm publish complains and auto correct the bin field examples from npm docs.

Expected Behavior

Seems like the examples are correct, there is no need to complain or alter the code.

Steps To Reproduce

First example:

1. Create fresh repo with npm init -y
2. Add dummy file cli.js
3. Copy bin field entry from npm docs to package.json:

"bin": {
  "myapp": "./cli.js"
}

Second example:

1. Create fresh repo with npm init -y
2. Add dummy file cli.js
3. Copy bin field entry from npm docs to package.json:

"bin": "./cli.js"

Finally run npm publish --dry-run. In both cases npm complains:

npm WARN publish npm auto-corrected some errors in your package.json when publishing.  Please run "npm pkg fix" to address these errors.
npm WARN publish errors corrected:
npm WARN publish "bin[myapp]" script name was cleaned
