Better Corepack support #566

Description

@jonahsnider

Corepack is an official Node.js tool for managing package managers like npm, pnpm, or Yarn.
It has been bundled with Node.js versions since v16.9.

Instead of running npm i -g yarn, you run corepack enable. This places yarn + pnpm binaries (technically they're Corepack shims) alongside the node binary.

Unfortunately, switching to a new Node.js version with fnm requires you to run corepack enable again before you can use your custom package managers.

Could a configuration option (ex. --corepack) be added to automatically handle this for users?

Related: post-install hooks like in #139 could be used to run corepack enable, although it might be good to have a dedicated option for Corepack since it's going to be a very common workflow for Node.js users
