The Example section printed by `nvm --help` referenced long-EOL Node versions (4.8.3, 6.10.3, 8.0.0/8.1.0). Update them to current LTS lines (22.x/24.x), preserving the existing column alignment. Signed-off-by: Than Tibbetts <than@me.com>
Several "pick a recent version" examples cited EOL Node versions (4.2, 5.9, 12.22.1, 14.x, 16.x, 18.x). Update them to current LTS lines (22.x/24.x), including the full `.nvmrc` walkthrough output. Intentionally-historical references are left unchanged: the io.js migration examples, the `stable`/`unstable` alias notes, the Alpine version table, the source-build narrative, and the `--shared-zlib` example (which explicitly demonstrates installing an older version).

What
Refresh the Node.js versions used in user-facing examples. They referenced versions that have been EOL for years, which makes the docs look stale and can confuse new users:
nvm --help"Example" block cited Node4.8.3,6.10.3,8.0.0/8.1.04.2,5.9,12.22.1,14.x,16.x,18.xUpdated to current LTS lines (22.x / 24.x). The
--helpblock keeps its existing column alignment, and the.nvmrcwalkthrough's sample output (download URL + npm pairing) is updated to match.Intentionally left unchanged
These reference old versions on purpose, so they're untouched:
