[Bug?]: npmMinimalAgeGate will not work on GithubPackages #7231

Describe the bug

https://github.blog/changelog/2021-03-05-packages-time-has-been-dropped-from-npm-package-metadata-responses/

GitHub appears to be missing the metadata required for yarn's age-gate checking. This means any attempt to install a package from a NPM repository hosted by a GitHub instance will fail with "all versions are quarantined", which is technically correct given the information available, but unhelpful.

To reproduce

Install any package from a github npm registry.
