Clarify uninstallation docs (#9938) 

See https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/9871

> The current instructions first mention removing the binaries, and then
mention a suggestion for removing stored data. The recommended data
removal process involves uv commands that will no longer be available if
the binaries are gone 😄.

I've edited the uninstallation docs to first suggest removing stored
data before removing the uv and uvx binaries.
