In theory, `npx nvmrc` can now be used to validate an `.nvmrc` file that `nvm` will support. Allowances have been made for future extensibility, and aliases may no longer contain a `#`.
Fixes#3336. Closes#2288.

GNU tar doesn't support using the -J flag required to unpack
xz-compressed tarballs when xv isn't installed. Check for this
scenario and fallback to using gzip-compressed tarballs.
Fixes#3034
Path lists in environmental variables often give special meaning to
empty entries (e.g. in PATH or MANPATH). These are represented by
leading or trailing colons, or by doubled colons in the middle of the
list.
Adjust the awk invocation to correctly deal with trailing colons by
printing the separator before every field except the first, and then
printing the final separator that is read from the input - this will
either be a colon or the null string. This preserves leading and
trailing colons in all cases while not adding extra colons in the wrong
place.
Add test to confirm the correct behaviour.

I had to dig into #2410 to learn about the `PROFILE=/dev/null` technique to install without appending to my shell config. Figured this note would be good to add in the main installation docs.
Also added a note on how to do this as a one-liner which was not obvious for me.
the `nvm.sh` file assigns and exports an `NVM_CD_FLAGS` variable if it
was sourced from a zsh shell. the fact that it's exported means that
it'll be assigned in all child processes, including the `nvm-exec`
script, which uses bash as the interpreter.
Bash's `cd` command doesn't have a `-q` flag, so if the `NVM_CD_FLAGS`
is assigned `-q`, the script will error out and incorrectly claim that
the node version isn't installed.
this also manifests itself in the `nvm exec` command.
Example:
```console
$ nvm exec 16.14.0 npm --version
Running node v16.14.0 (npm v8.3.1)
/Users/<ME>/.nvm/nvm.sh: line 28: cd: -q: invalid option
cd: usage: cd [-L|[-P [-e]] [-@]] [dir]
both the tree and the node path are required
N/A: version "v16.14.0 -> N/A" is not yet installed.
You need to run "nvm install v16.14.0" to install it before using it.
```
To address this, we unset the `NVM_CD_FLAGS` at the start of the
`nvm-exec` script, before loading `nvm.sh`.
Remove the call to `ls` that was used to determine the symlink
destination
Reasoning :
* `od` resolves symlink itself due to the use of `fopen`
* Prevent the behaviour of `od` which will hang if the filename is
empty (i.e. `/sbin/init` missing) as it will be waiting for `stdin`
compared to quitting with error if the file just doesn't exist
Fixes#3006
