Bug 1638509 - Enable the limited PostUpdate to update the WDBA task. r=agashlin,bytesized

This also requires removing the registry value cleanup from the unregister-task
command and adding a new uninstall command which removes both the task and the
registry values, because this patch now runs unregister-task during updates to
remove the task before re-adding it, and that needs to leave the registry alone.

 Scheduled Task
 ==============
 
-The agent runs as a `Windows scheduled task <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/about-the-task-scheduler>`_. The scheduled task executes all of the agent's primary functions; all of its other functions relate to managing the task. The Windows installer is responsible for creating (and the uninstaller for removing) the agent's task entry, but the code for actually doing this resides in the agent itself, and the installers simply call it using dedicated command line parameters (``register-task`` and ``unregister-task``). The :doc:`PostUpdate </browser/installer/windows/installer/Helper>` code also calls the agent with ``update-task`` to update any properties of an existing task registration that need to be updated, or to create one during an application update if none exists.

 The tasks are normal entries in the Windows Task Scheduler, managed using `its Win32 API <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/_taskschd/>`_. They're created in a tasks folder called "Mozilla" (or whatever the application's vendor name is), and there's one for each installation of Firefox (or other Mozilla application). The task is set to run automatically every 24 hours starting at the time it's registered (with the first run being 24 hours after that), or the nearest time after that the computer is awake. The task is configured with one action, which is to run the agent binary with the command line parameter ``do-task``, the command that invokes the actual agent functionality.
