Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have more control over the dotnet versions I have installed on my desktop from the cli. Specifically, I'd like to be able to update my dotnet version to a newer version with a security patch (like the one released for yesterday's SqlClient issue) without having to go to a download page. Ideally, I'd also like to be able to install a new major version of the sdk through the cli but that's optional.

This is a problem w a bunch of other languages (pyenv for python) but it'd be really awesome to have this baked into an sdk cli. It's just sort of a pain to go to the dotnet page every time there's a patch

Additional context

Pretty popular issue on StackOverflow (excuse the sarcastic response) but it shows that this issue would be well received at least.
