Purpose of the Script

This script automates the configuration changes required when upgrading to ASDF version 0.16.0 from earlier versions. The purpose is to:

Safely back up the user's existing .zshrc configuration file
Remove any outdated ASDF-related configuration lines
Add the new required environment variables and PATH modifications for ASDF 0.16.0
Display the changes made to the configuration file
Guide the user on how to apply these changes

The script addresses the breaking changes introduced in ASDF 0.16.0, which was completely rewritten in Go and now requires different environment setup compared to previous Bash-based versions. It helps users migrate smoothly without losing their existing ASDF data directory settings.
