Auto add uninstaller #3262

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Auto add uninstaller

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

When a package has been submitted without an uninstall, automatically determine the uninstall, and provide it for the package manifest.

If the uninstall provided is invalid, the validation should fail and the user should be informed.

As this represents another example of an automated enhancement for a package manifest, there are several considerations. Users may not with to have this automatically added to their PR initially. Considerations include a key for autocorrect so the user can determine if the uninstall should be automatically added and merged, or comments to the PR should be added so the user can learn and manage the manifest.

In the event the value is to be automatically added and merged, the system may determine a preferred order for the keys in the manifest.
