Uninstall GalaxyBudsClient and optional data cleanup

Uninstalling also removes

Installer receipts (pkgutil)
me.timschneeberger.galaxybudsclient

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command
brew uninstall --zap --cask galaxybudsclient

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
