Missing information about capability 'packageManagement'

[Felix-Dev]

If you just use RemovePackageAsync() to remove apps installed via the store, you will get a 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied' exception. In order to uninstall store apps, you also need to add the restricted capability 'packageManagement' to your app. This should be pointed out in the documentation here.
