Publish To Environment breaks CI/CD pipelines (#1472)

Fixes #798

If you have an environment, which doesn't have any AUTHCONTEXT it will
be ignored during CD (unless you have specifically set
ContinuousDeployment to true).

Several things can create environments in GitHub (github_pages is an
example of this). We cannot determine this during initialization
(authcontext could be environment variable), instead you will get a
notice:
