Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of node.js using nvm.

Set up node using nvm

This action sets up a specific node.js version on GitHub Actions using nvm, very similar to @actions/setup-node. Unlike setup-node (at the time of this writing) it does support several aliases and custom mirrors like the one for node-v8. Note that this is merely intended as a placeholder until setup-node supports aliases, which is crucial for rolling testing, and mirrors, which is useful for WebAssembly testing. Has some Windows support via nvm-windows, but there are issues with versions newer than current and .nvmrc.
