NVM install fails with Invalid mirror or host unavailable for some ~/.curlrc files

[bcspragu]

The problem: nvm install was totally broken for me, showing an error like:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

This was a pretty maddening issue to debug (and ultimately entirely my fault) but the issue is here:

nvm.fish/functions/nvm.fish

Lines 116 to 117 in c69e5d1

	if ! command curl $silent --progress-bar --location $url |
	command tar --extract --gzip --directory $nvm_data/$ver 2>/dev/null

The problem is that if someone has a ~/.curlrc file that contains something like -w "\n" (to make output more readable), it breaks tar because tar isn't expecting the newline. The solution is just to make the curl call curl --disable, so that it doesn't read the .curlrc file at all.

That sounds pretty straightforward. Send me a PR with the fix that worked for you so I can test it in my environment.

Sounds good, sent out #224
