Update NVM for Windows available from Chocolatey

[leafac]

First of all, thanks for this project. It’s great! 😁

Second, I think this issue belongs here because you manifested interest in maintaining the Chocolatey package. Please let me know if I should bring this up with the Chocolatey people instead.

Issue:

The versions of NVM for Windows available from Chocolatey are old: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/nvm (1.1.5) https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/nvm.portable (1.1.7)

These old versions don’t work anymore: npm/cli#4234

How To Reproduce:

> choco install nvm
> nvm install latest
> nvm use <VERSION>
> npx cowsay Hi # This will fail with something like SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

Expected Behavior:

I think that the latest versions of NVM for Windows should be available from Chocolatey. After all, having an installer is great, but using a package manager is probably the most ergonomic way of install and manage development tools.

I no longer have plans to maintain a chocolatey package for this project (that comment was from 7 years ago), so it would be better to bring this to the folks maintaining that effort.

At this point, I'm taking a firm stance on not adding new features (like a new installation process), because they're distracting from the rt effort (the NVM4W successor).

Just to be clear, I'm listening and recognize the desire for alternative installation methods (and other features). Feedback like is being taken into consideration for the next gen tool.

Oh, that’s great. Thanks for all the work on NVM4W and I’m looking forward for rt! (And I’m sure @ljharb will appreciate the name change 😉.)
