Add uninstall command to CLI and update documentation

- Introduced a new `uninstall` command in the CLI for the Hermes Agent, allowing users to remove the agent while optionally retaining configuration files for future reinstallation.
- Updated AGENTS.md and README.md to include the new uninstall functionality, enhancing user guidance on available commands and their purposes.
- Improved command-line interface with detailed help options for the uninstall process, including flags for full removal and confirmation prompts.
