Decode a VIN
/**
* VIN decoder.
*
* kevinboutin on 3/11/18.
*
* My VIN for testing is WBA3A5G59DNP26082 so use the following command to invoke:
* node vindecoder WBA3A5G59DNP26082
*
* Examples:
* KM8JM12D56U303366
* 5NMSH73E88H134350
* 1GTHK29U74E341306
* JTLKT324X64085338
* 2HGEJ6446YH110899
* JN8AS5MT2DW022816
* 3FADP4BJ2FM195587
* 1G6AF5SX6D0125409
*
* VINs are made up of sections. The first three characters make up the World Manufacturer Identifier (WIN).
* Position 1 represents the nation of origin with position 2 identifying the manufacturer. Position 3, when
* combined with the first two characters, indicates the vehicle's type or manufacturing division.
* The next section encompasses characters 4-9 and is the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS). Positions 4-8
* describe the car with such information as the model, body type, restraint system, transmission type and
* engine code. Position 9, the check digit, is used to detect VINs that are not valid.
* The final section is named the Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS). Position 10 indicates the model year with
* the help of position 7. Position 11 indicates the manufacturing plant in which the vehicle was assembled.
* Each automaker has its own set of plant codes. The last six positions (positions 12-17) are the production
* sequence numbers.
*
* For more information on decoding the VDS, use https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Numbers_(VIN_codes)
