Add a standalone endpoint agent uninstaller

Reverses everything the installer and site-agent generator create: stops and deletes the service, kills agent/tray processes, removes the tray Run key and the HKLM\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB credential hive in both registry views, drops the Defender path exclusion, and deletes the install directory and ProgramData tree. Every step is best-effort and idempotent so it is safe to re-run and safe on a partially installed host.

# uninstall-shopdbagent.ps1
# ShopDB Endpoint Agent uninstaller. Run from an ELEVATED (admin) PowerShell on
# the endpoint. Reverses everything install-shopdbagent.ps1 and the site agent
# generator's install.ps1 create:
# - stops and deletes the Windows service
# - kills any running agent/tray processes
# - removes the tray logon Run key (64-bit and 32-bit views)
# - removes the credential hive HKLM\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB (both views)
# - removes the Defender path exclusion for the install directory
# - deletes the install directory and the ProgramData data/log tree
#
# Every step is best-effort and idempotent: a missing service, key, process, or
# folder is a no-op, so the script is safe to re-run and safe on a partially
# installed host. Nothing here fails the run just because an artifact is already
# gone; only an unexpected error on a present artifact surfaces as a warning.
