make test-npm is not particularly robust (currently fails on Linux and
Windows, reportedly) and results in a fair number of requests for help
from people new to the project. It is used when upgrading npm in core,
which only a small number of mostly-predefined people do. Remove it from
the general build doc.

Not sure if this would have helped with finding out npm/npm#16734, but somewhere we need to regression test npm

@refack No because the test doesn't work on Windows and 16734 is a Windows issue.

This was a documentation-only PR. No tests were removed or anything like that. I think comments on the quality or effectiveness of our npm testing in general should go in a separate issue.

Ack. My comment wasn't directly related to this PR, definatly not critique, I just needed a thread with context, and I only found #11540 later (mostly had a guilty mind / hindsight is always 20/20 etc.)
