A trivial #RakuLang simplification.

I'm never going to remember `zef install --deps-only .` because literally every other package manage has something like `foo install` for installing the dependencies of the current module.

So, i've added this #FishShell abbreviation

abbr -a zdeps "zef install --deps-only ."

maybe i'll remember zdeps

I'd much prefer it if #zef simply said "oh hey, i'm in teh same directory as a META6.json file? I'll install the dependencies" when i run zef install

@masukomi I also wish zef install defaulted to NOT running the tests. This being $current-year, I hope most people are using GitHub Actions or some other CI to test their packages before releasing them.

@julia

I'm going to _hard_ disagree with that one Julia ;)

Most devs don't bother with tests. Setting up a CI is even more work.

PLUS different CPU architectures, different OSs, eventually different Raku implementetations?!

No way an average dev can be expected to compensate for all that.

DEFINETLY want tests run on my machine before install.

Otherwise i'm just assuming their 💩works and spend hours banging my head against a wall thinking I screwed up, but it's a lib's bug.
