Issue:
🚀 Feature: Infer access from package.json data
### Feature Request Checklist

- [x] I have pulled the latest `main` branch of the repository.
- [x] I have [searched for related issues](https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found none that matched my issue.

### Overview

Right now, the `access` option has a hardcoded default of `"public"`:

https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/blob/20ab2419de4f1fdd78ff6270054793ebaa269c3e/src/base.ts#L260

That should be computed from `package.json` data on disk.

### Additional Info

Marking as blocked until #1973 -> #1985 is done, to avoid merge conflicts.
