[BUG] package.json vars documentation seems outdated

[a5hk]

What / Why

Apparently many package.json vars have been removed since v6 (reference). But docs are still pointing to them here:

You can access these variables in your code with process.env.npm_package_name and process.env.npm_package_version, and so on for other fields.

and here:

Objects are flattened following this format, so if you had {"scripts":{"install":"foo.js"}} in your package.json, then you'd see this in the script: process.env.npm_package_scripts_install === "foo.js"
