Description
Packages that don't use the `output` flag or have a `"main"` in their `package.json` have their preferred filename output ignored.
For example, say I have the following package:
```
{
"name": "foo",
"exports": {
".": "./dist/bar.js",
...
}
}
```
Unfortunately, because of the `replaceName()` here, the desired output is replaced by the package name instead.

`mainNoExtension` traces back to here, which defines a couple of fallbacks.

I can't really say that I understand why this was done in the first place, so don't want to go "fixing" it as there might be some relying on this. To me, it seems like that in the absence of the `output` flag, these fields should be read and used exactly, no replacing.
`mainNoExtension` seems like it should be the last of the fallbacks, not something that overwrites valid entries & chosen names.
