[Feature]: Add an option to manipulate if use admin privilege or non-admin one about nvm-windows

[zayne-wang]

No. See Runtime.

Junctions require more work because they will break environments that use network attached storage, mapped drives, or different hard drives than the one where nvm4w is installed. That would break usage for ~43% of the community (many millions of people). There is a fork providing this support if you need this today (search the issues).

Runtime, which will replace NVM4W, uses different mechanisms to support non-admin users. Since this would be a breaking change for so many, it would need a new semver major release, which we don't plan to do (because Runtime will be a better option).

Expecting for runtime! Also, thanks for your great project!!
