Feature : support .tool-versions for (nodejs, ruby, etc) #306

Hi,

A feature that would help maintenance : it would be nice to support .tool-versions (asdf) files like github actions.

For github actions, if a key versionFile equals ".tool-versions" then the version to install is read from this file. This would avoid multiple source of truth / conflicts.

Hi 👋

Thanks for the suggestion ✨

Instead of updating all the Features to support .tool-versions, we could propose this for the spec instead. Transferring this issue over to the spec repo, let me know if you have any concerns or additional thoughts.
