dvm (Discord Version Manager)

Allowing you to manage all of your discord versions. This was made as I was impatient to waiting for AUR maintainers (no offense 😂 we have lives) to update discord packages. This solves that problem: since you can update your version by just doing dvm update <type>. This utility is heavily inspired by the rustup command line tool
