Addon Uninstaller

[khlam]

• Modified Installed Versions File to the following format

  [<addon URL>]
  version = <addon version>
  folders = <addon subfolder 1>, <addon subfolder 2>, .... <addon subfolder n>

• Added new function uninstallAddon() that allows a user to uninstall an add-on by removing the addon's URL from the Addon List File.
• Addons whose URLs that are commented with # will not be deleted
• Note: Users will need to delete their Installed Versions File and run the script to re-generate it. Otherwise it won't be able to associate the folder with the addon.
• Not tested on Mac

I'm leery of this feature, because it introduces behavior that someone may not expect from something called "WoW Addon Updater". In my opinion it should just update according to the configuration; it shouldn't go around deleting anything. Not to mention this is a breaking change.

@grrttedwards Yes, this is a radical new feature but I'd argue it's necessary to change the format of the installed versions file because there's currently nothing recording what's being downloaded and unzipped. A user could disable addons they don't want to use and comment out the URL, but then that's bloating up their directory. If a user did want to clean up the junk they're not using, then there's no clear reference to do it manually which can be especially tedious if you want to remove an addon like DBM.

As far as adopting this change, in my testing all I had to do was delete my old Installed Versions File, then run the script. Since it doesn't overwrite directories all my settings were saved, so if a user knows how to run the script I think it's a straightforward update.
