Epic: Resolve `npm --global` issues

Epic

Some commands have issues when run with the global --flag. I thought it would be helpful to gather all of these issues that I could find since from an initial look it seems like there will be some discussion and fixes that apply across multiple issues.

In particular, commands like update, that ostensibly work with package.json and/or a lockfile, seem like they're a category error for --global.

I suspect https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3910 belongs on this list as well...

#3764 was a misunderstanding of how the cache worked.
