pnpm version: 6.24.2

Code to reproduce the issue:

mkdir test-pnpm-pack
cd test-pnpm-pack
pnpm pack @aws-sdk/client-sqs

Expected behavior:

mkdir test-pnpm-pack
cd test-pnpm-pack
npm pack @aws-sdk/client-sqs

It creates a tarball aws-sdk-client-sqs-3.95.0.tgz

Actual behavior:

pnpm pack does not create a tarball - I receive the error:  ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND  No package.json (or package.yaml, or package.json5) was found

So my question is - can we have the same behavior for pnpm pack but with the addition of using pnpm store?
Or can we get some equivalent by other pnpm commands? I know about pnpm store add which adds the package to the store but how we can get the tarball from the store?

My use case is:

1. I have pnpm store filled with the packages
2. I use npm pack to download those package (as tarballs) which is not efficient - I would like to use pnpm store which already has cached those packages
3. Ideally I would just replace npm pack with pnpm pack and pnpm pack can give me tarballs and it uses the cache (pnpm store) instead of redownloading it from the npm registry.
