Support `asdf shell latest:version`

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
asdf local <version>
and asdf global <version>
support two formats for version setting: <version>
(20.0.0
) and latest[:<version>]
(latest:20
), but asdf shell
supports only first one.
It's not quite clear why only one command doesn't support latest:
prefix making it a bit inconsistent. When switching between versions and relying on prefix you would expect it to work with all three.
Describe the proposed solution
Add support of asdf shell latest[:<version>]
so it will be consistent with other two version set commands.
Describe similar asdf
features and why they are not sufficient
asdf local
and asdf global
modify .tool-version
file so they're not much of replacement. Shell completion helps but when relying on shell history it still requires manually editing version (ex. asdf shell nodejs 20.0.0
-> asdf shell nodejs 20.1.0
).
Describe other workarounds you've considered
Tried wrapping asdf list-all
to resolve latest version, it works but quite slow sometimes:
function asdf-shell-latest() {
asdf shell "$1" "$(asdf list-all "$1" "$2" | tail -n1)"
}
# sets ruby version to 2.7.8 as latest available
asdf-shell-latest ruby 2.7
