Description

A common scenario when using poetry under CI environments is to rely on environment variables to perform a publish operation. For example,

export POETRY_REPOSITORIES_TESTPYPI_URL=https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
poetry publish --build --repository testpypi --username foo --password bar

We should improve this experience by support valid url's as arguments to the --repository option so that the above can be achieved like so.

poetry publish --build --repository https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ --username foo --password bar

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI implementation of the publish command and its --repository option, then trace how repository names are resolved. Verify the requested URL form with a publish invocation or focused test, while preserving the existing named-repository behavior; done means the URL example is accepted directly.
