[New] allow .nvmrc files to support comments

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.

`nvm use` et. al. will traverse directory structure upwards from the current directory looking for the `.nvmrc` file. In other words, running `nvm use` et. al. in any subdirectory of a directory with an `.nvmrc` will result in that `.nvmrc` being utilized.
The contents of a `.nvmrc` file **must** be the `<version>` (as described by `nvm --help`) followed by a newline. No trailing spaces are allowed, and the trailing newline is required.
The contents of a `.nvmrc` file **must** contain precisely one `<version>` (as described by `nvm --help`) followed by a newline. `.nvmrc` files may also have comments. The comment delimiter is `#`, and it and any text after it, as well as blank lines, and leading and trailing white space, will be ignored when parsing.
Key/value pairs using `=` are also allowed and ignored, but are reserved for future use, and may cause validation errors in the future.
Run [`npx nvmrc`](https://npmjs.com/nvmrc) to validate an `.nvmrc` file. If that tools results do not agree with nvm, one or the other has a bug - please file an issue.
