Create infrastructure for experimental branches #31591
Description
We'd like to create a vehicle for experimental branches that get merged into a temporary branch based off of master on a nightly basis, and published to npm. Presumably it'd be called something like typescript@experimental.
Users can use this branch to more-easily play with experimental features. This will allow us to keep branches in a reasonable state as they wait for the "feature" period of our release cycle, and will allow us to see how those features combine and interact.
This is a partial alternative to #28152 - the main difference being that
- this allows features to not be merged into
master - experimental features aren't flagged because they're not even part of nightly

FYI, the infra I actually already put in place mostly, I just need to prep and merge things into an experimental branch to test.

You'd like to see said experimental branch published, yes?

Opened #32411 and #32412 based on our discussion earlier to better service our prerelease build needs - I'll decommission the experimental branch build that's already been running once that's together.
