Recommend to autoremove #1881

I suggest to add a feature similar to autoremove from apt-get.

On install of a new version it could suggest to run autoremove. When doing so it should ask what Node.js versions should be removed e.g., all but the latest of each major; all but the latest; all but versions below the current default.

Besides that it would be great to also add a option to the installer to auto remove the last minor / patch version on installing a newer version.

This has been requested before; see https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1091#issuecomment-218282456. I don’t think this is the primary use case for nvm; and it wouldn’t match my own, where i always keep every minor forever.
