Nimble v0.22.3

What's Changed

• Fix task exit code regression: Custom nimble tasks that raised
  CatchableError were exiting with code 0 instead of 1.

• Symlink all nim companion binaries: nimble install now symlinks all
  companion tools that ship with nim (nimsuggest, nimgrep, nimpretty, etc.) into
  the bin directory, rather than only symlinking the nim binary. The nimble
  binary itself is never replaced by a symlink.
