Document how to uninstall on macOS

See original GitHub issue

I installed the EdgeDB alpha for macOS sometime after it was announced. I never actually ran it, but I just looked at Activity Monitor and see that the prostgres process running under user edgedb has both sent and received 18.5MB of data, presumably since my last restart which was only a couple of days ago.

This violates my basic expectations about software installation. Please tell me how I can completely remove edgedb from my machine. Furthermore, I would like to know what edgedb has been sending, and where.

This should do the trick:

systemctl --user stop edgedb*.service
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/edgedb
rm -rf $HOME/.edgedb
sudo apt-get remove 'edgedb*'

Probably also worth rebooting in case some processes are still up.
