Description

Would it be possible to fetch also node headers from https://nodejs.org/dist, when installing a node version by nvm install? Linux/macOS nvm installs also headers and I don't see them installed on Windows.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the installation logic in nvm windows (e.g., install.go) to see how node binaries are fetched. Look at nvm for Linux/macOS to understand how headers are fetched. Implement similar logic to download headers from https://nodejs.org/dist during Windows installation.
