official wat to list prebuilt binaries

[bmeck]

right now nvm and n are scraping nodejs.org/dist to figure out what versions are available, listing these rather than scrapping would be really nice. especially when performing a simple replication only on specific semver versions.

An example on how to do this semi-properly (does not work on windows)

  NODE_REPO=${NODE_REPO:="https://github.com/joyent/node.git"}
  local tags=$(git ls-remote --tags "$NODE_REPO" | awk '{print $2}' | grep -Ev '\^\{\}$' | sed 's/^refs\/tags\///');
  if [ "$1" != "all" ]; then
    tags=$(echo "$tags" | grep -E '^v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+$')
  fi
  echo "$tags"

Closing. Would defer to either nodejs/build or nodejs/website WGs
