Nvm-windows: Suggestion: wildcard major version to latest X.y..z

If this is a question about how to use NVM4W, please use stackoverflow instead.

If this is an issue regarding antivirus, make sure you search the existing issues first.

My Environment

• [ ] Windows 10

  I have already...

• [ ] read the README to be aware of npm gotchas & antivirus issues.

• [ ] reviewed the wiki to make sure my issue hasn't already been resolved.
• [ ] searched the issues (open and closed) to make sure this isn't a duplicate.
  

  Expected Behavior

nvm install 6 uses the latest 6._._ version, in this case v6.9.1
Typical behavior of nvm Bash script

Actual Behavior

nvm installed 6.0.0 (assumed null = 0)

Would be handy to when having to install the latest versions in a specific major version without having to visit the NodeJS website. Changing this behavior does have a slight potential of confusing current users, but is currently confusing of Mac devs using this on Windows. I'd say the added benefit latest security updates & bug fixes trumps.
Same suggestion goes for nvm use, etc.

If 'no, won't add', I'd like to document the current behavior.

This has been requested before and I do think it makes sense to have the absolute latest version downloaded/used. I'm still pretty pressed for time at the moment, but consider this on my to-do list..... I would gladly accept a PR if someone wants this before I get around to it.

I submitted a PR for this https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/pull/222

@kylewuolle That is great, but I think you should go further and implement the same behavior on semver.

nvm install 6 = 6.10.2
nvm install 6.9 = 6.9.5
nvm install 6.9.2 = 6.9.2

For reference:

@coreybutler If someone sent a PR with that changes, are you going to support it?

I've made a PR finishing the steps so install and use both have sane versions. #311
