Make "fnm" an official installation method for Node.js on Windows

[ovflowd]

Hi! I'm Claudio from the Node.js team, we recently published a new Downloads page https://nodejs.org/en/download and we'd like to onboard "fnm" as an official installation method. Here are the criteria we are defining of what marks an installation method as official (https://nodejs-org-git-feat-official-community-docs-openjs.vercel.app/en/about/previous-releases#official-versus-community)

How can we proceed with this? ✨

Seems like fnm qualifies as official installer: it downloads binaries as is from Node.js distribution mirror (nodejs.org/dist by default). Zero manipulation happening there. What else should I do to make it happen?

[ovflowd]

One last question, so once a new release becomes available on Node side I assume it becomes available immediately on fnm side? I assume fnm probably reads our index.json or something like that? Haven't checked the source.

But yeah, that's it. And the fact that we might need to pint you from time to time for questions regarding fnm or issues that people open on our repositories. Pretty much just having a way to contact you through GitHub :)

(Also if you could check we implemented the snippets correctly, that'd be great!)

@ovflowd Yes. It uses index.json

Relevant source code here: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/blob/master/src/remote_node_index.rs#L86

Then I assume we can proceed and make, fnm an official installation method. Do you feel comfortable with this, @Schniz?
