[Feature]: swallow 'v' letter in version while installing

[ZuBB]

Can we make vfox (prefereably) swallow v letter (vfox i nodejs@v22.17.0) while doing install?

支持这个建议，一开始我也打错了vfox install nodejs@v24，建议自动忽略v

It seems to be a very reasonable feature. I have encountered this problem before as well. Maybe we just need to remove the prefix 'v' when passing it to the Lua plugin, right? Would there be any plugins that depend on this prefixed 'v' behavior?

after some investigation, I think we can remove the prefix "v" from the user's input statements.

a more radical version of this: how about ditching 'v' letter everywhere: both in input and output?

output: What exactly does it refer to?

vasyl@phoenix /tmp $ vfox current nodejs
-> v22.17.1
vasyl@phoenix /tmp $

again, v in version

[bytemain]

Yes, vfox search nodejs will also show vXxx

• This seems to be something that can be done in the plugin implementation code? When I wrote the documentation for https://shardingsphere.apache.org/document/current/en/user-manual/shardingsphere-jdbc/graalvm-native-image/development/#windows , I never included a v for the java plugin.

vfox add java 
vfox install java@24.0.2-graalce 
vfox use --global java@24.0.2-graalce

The same problem, vfox displays the character v when displaying, but cannot correctly handle the character v when inputting. I think we need to maintain consistency in display and operation, or always ignore v.
