export NVM_DIR in profile before sourcing nvm.sh

[koenpunt]

As there are still issues with directory discovery (#394), I suggest we export the NVM_DIR variable before sourcing.

With my changes the snippet added to the profile looks like this:

export NVM_DIR="/Users/koenpunt/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

Should NVM_DIR be stored in the profile as $HOME/.nvm rather than the expanded path?

Nope, because NVM_DIR is variable

Let's still try to fix directory discovery across shells though.
