* feat: add lunarvim latest release tag to dashboard

* Add a function to center-align text

Rename align to align_left
Rename shift_left to shift_right

* refactor(dashboard): remove unnecessary comment

* refactor(dashboard): use `home_dir` variable for `lv_path`

* refactor(dashboard): use $LUNARVIM_RUNTIME_DIR for lv_path

* feat(bootstrap): add fn that returns lvim version

* refactor(dashboard): use version, lunarvim dir with bootstrap fns
