[BUG] unexpected change in behavior of npm view --json of invalid version of a package

Current Behavior:

$ npm view --json lodash@0.0.0
undefined
$

Expected Behavior:

In previous versions of npm there would be no content returned

$ npm view --json lodash@0.0.0
$

Steps To Reproduce:

Run above commands

Environment:

OSX 10.15.6
Node.js v14.6.0
npm v7.0.0-beta.2

This should be addressed when we land: #1657

This has not been entirely fixed

npm v6.x output

[~]$ npm view --json lodash@0.0.0
[~]$

npm 7.x output

[~]$ npm view --json lodash@0.0.0

[~]$

Notice the additional newline that we have now. This is probably a non issue for most cases but it did break some internals on CITGM (but were patched easily enough)

view: directly print to process.stdout

fix: npm view should not output extra newline

landed in v7.0.0-beta.11
