Command to show which versions are available in the remote repo

[charlespierce]

Suggested in #569: A command, analogous to n ls-remote that will show which versions of a given tool are available in the remote repository. We can likely take a version parameter as well, and resolve all matches (up to some display limit), so that users can see what is available for a given version range:

$ volta resolve node@lts

This feels like a pretty important feature to have, or is there a good workaround already that people are using?

I use npx n lsr or npx n lsr engine. 😅

For Node, at least, It looks like the JSON versions index is already being cached to $VOLTA_HOME/cache/node/index.json. Is this cache only updated when a version of node is requested to be fetched and that version doesn't exist in the cache?

It's obvious, but, we already have public api's how:

https://api.github.com/repos/npm/cli/tags
https://api.github.com/repos/npm/cli/releases
https://registry.npmjs.org/npm

Maybe could be used for remote versions for tools.
(i really dont know if the problem is where finding, but it's an idea)
