Script to delete thin-edge.io from device

[mbay-ODW]

Describe the bug Currently I can install thin-edge.io via script. But I can not uninstall it and have to manually delete all parts.

Expected behavior thin-edge.io provides a script that allows complete or binary (e.g. keep configs) uninstallation of thin-edge.io.

Additional context Following steps might be needed within the script

1. Stop services sudo systemctl stop tedge-mapper-collectd sudo tedge disconnect c8y sudo tedge disconnect az sudo systemctl stop apama

2. purge apts sudo apt --assume-yes purge tedge tedge_mapper tedge_agent tedge_watchdog tedge_apt_plugin tedge_apama_plugin c8y_log_plugin c8y_configuration_plugin sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt --assume-yes purge mosquitto-clients mosquitto libmosquitto1 collectd-core collectd

3. delete /etc/tedge rm -r /etc/tedge

It would be good that the script supports the both purge and remove.

For purging, I have created this script for CI pipeline. We can use it as start point. https://github.com/thin-edge/thin-edge.io/blob/main/ci/installation_scripts/clean_up_rpi.sh

AC:

• Create a simple script to purge/remove thin-edge.io packages.
• Add the description how to uninstall on https://thin-edge.github.io/thin-edge.io/html/howto-guides/002_installation.html
