Description
Please make a first level command for seeing which python versions are available. I suggest pyenv list.
Every time I need to see available versions, I have to google it because I don't remember that it is pyenv install -l and it does not show up in pyenv --help.
It is one of the most common use cases so it should be at the top level, easily identifiable in pyenv --help.

Research direction
Start by tracing how pyenv install -l lists available Python versions and how top-level commands are shown by pyenv --help. Done means pyenv list exposes the available versions and the command is clearly visible in the help output.
