uninstalls toolchains prior to deleting the rustup home folder

[Darunada]

Fixes #2789

I was able to reproduce the issue, and with this change the command now succeeds with the following output.

C:\Users\Lea>rustup self uninstall


Thanks for hacking in Rust!

This will uninstall all Rust toolchains and data, and remove
%USERPROFILE%\.cargo/bin from your PATH environment variable.

I'd like to see at least one test validating that this uninstall is happening. Probably it ought to be a new test in tests/cli-self-upd.rs something like an fn uninstall_removes_installed_toolchains()

sure thing, work has gotten a bit more stressful in the last couple weeks, I will try to do something this weekend

@Darunada Do you still have time to advance it? If you don't have time I would be happy to help add that test. But it would be great if you could move forward. Thanks!

[Darunada]

Sorry for the delay, I went ahead and added a test. Let me know if you like the approach!

Hello team, I am once again prepared for your reconsideration

Mostly LGTM, thanks for updating after all those years!
