[OE-core] Broken NPM builds

[Davis, Michael]

I have a simple grunt-cli recipe using inherit npm.
On master branch it appears to be broken and unable to find the registry.  Same recipe on Morty branch works fine.
I looked through the mailing list and didn't see anyone else seeing this issue.

On a related side note I have recipes working for node 6.10.2.  Is there a reason we are staying on the 4.x series now that 6 is LTS?
