`resolve_version` strips the leading `ruby-` from its argument and
then only looks for the stripped form in the definitions directory.
For canonical definitions whose filename retains the `ruby-` prefix
(currently `ruby-dev`) the exact-match step searches for `dev`,
which does not exist, and the grep fallback's `^dev[-.]` anchor
also misses the `ruby-dev` line in the definitions list. Result:
`ruby-build ruby-dev` reports "definition not found" even though
the file is shipped.
Try the original (unstripped) argument first in the exact-match
loop, then fall back to the stripped form. Numeric-version inputs
(`ruby-3.4.9`, `3.4`, `ruby-3.4`) and other implementations
(`mruby-dev`, `jruby-dev`) are unaffected because their existing
code paths still match.
Regression introduced in #2610.
* Support building with version prefix
Commonly in CI pipelines and other scripts, users may
want to install the latest from a specific series, e.g.
`3.4` or `jruby-10.0`.
```bash
$ bin/ruby-build 3.4 /tmp/3.4
...
Downloading ruby-3.4.9.tar.gz...
$ bin/ruby-build 4.0 /tmp/4.0
...
Downloading ruby-4.0.2.tar.gz...
```
Also support `--resolve`:
```bash
$ bin/ruby-build --resolve 3.4
3.4.9
```
* Improve version name resolution from prefix
- `ruby-build --resolve` now prints canonical definition names, always
stripping the "ruby-" prefix from output (e.g. "ruby-3.4" => "3.4.9").
- Fix sorting versions so that "jruby" correctly resolves to "jruby-10.x"
instead of to "jruby-9.x".
- Support bare "ruby" argument to select the latest CRuby version, since
that was already possible for "jruby", "mruby", et al.
- Case-normalize version inputs so that arguments like "JRuby" or
"TruffleRuby" resolve to their lowercase definitions.
- Simplify definition file lookup: all code paths now go through
resolve_version.
- Restore the named-pipe + `--dir` check to correctly abort early.
- Update README and man page: bump Ruby version numbers in examples, add
Ruby implementations section, document the `--resolve` option.
* Clarify what ruby-build considers to be "latest" Ruby version
* Print usage error message if `--resolve` wasn't passed an argument

* Supports using other GraalVM languages such as JavaScript, Python, R and Java.
* Supports running TruffleRuby on JVM and not only Native.
* Add GraalVM 20.1.0.
"available" implies ruby-build will be checking online sources but
actually ruby-build doesn't do that. "local definitions" may be
prefered.

Stable releases should now be sorted as a higher version than preview
releases or RCs. For instance:
- 1.9.3-preview < 1.9.3-rc1 < 1.9.3-p0
- 2.1.0-dev < 2.1.0-rc1 < 2.1.0
- jruby-1.7.0-preview1 < jruby-1.7.0-rc1 < jruby-1.7.0
