Summary of the issue:

Makes uninstall information easier to find and link to by providing a heading in the user guide.

Description of user facing changes:

Information on uninstalling NVDA is tucked away at the bottom of the command line section. I have given this its own heading, re-ordered to describe uninstalling before the command line argument for it, and added a note that NVDA's data in %appdata% is not automatically removed on uninstalling NVDA.
