Make `nvm install` automatically use the installed version #1148

Description of the new feature / enhancement

This will be consistent with the nvm-sh/nvm, which automatically uses the installed version. NVM4W does not do this automatically atm but gives a suggestion to nvm use x.x.x.

Scenario when this would be used?

For developers jumping across platforms, this is a subtle difference to notice/remember. One could do nvm install and get going with it, but didn't even realize it was pointing to the old version.
