Aliases for nodenv Node versions

Invoke nodenv alias <name> <version> to make a symbolic link from <name> to <version> in the nodenv versions directory, effectively creating an alias. The cool part is that if you pass in a major or major.minor release as the name, you can give --auto to link to the latest installed minor or patch level (respectively). For example, nodenv alias 4.4 --auto will automatically create an alias from 4.4 to 4.4.7 (or to whatever is the most recent version you have installed). Similarly, nodenv alias 6 --auto will automatically create an alias from 6 to 6.10.3 (or to whatever is the most recent version you have installed).

Plus, if you're using node-build, nodenv install major.minor.patch automatically invokes nodenv alias major --auto and nodenv alias major.minor --auto, so you'll always have up to date aliases.
