Description

When installing the local CA into the system using `mkcert -install` all entities for which it is installed are reported:

```
The local CA is now installed in the system trust store! ⚡️
The local CA is now installed in the Firefox trust store (requires browser restart)! 🦊
The local CA is now installed in Java's trust store! ☕️
```

When uninstalling the local CA from the system using `mkcert -uninstall` the output is only

```
The local CA is now uninstalled from the system trust store(s)! 👋
```

It would be better if the output of `-uninstall` lists all entities it uninstalls the local CA from like `-install` does. Otherwise, the output casts doubt if it has really been removed from the Java trust store and the browser trust stores.

Research direction

Start by locating the command handlers for `mkcert -install` and `mkcert -uninstall`, then compare how each reports trust-store changes. Done means the uninstall output identifies every trust store from which the local CA was removed, including browser and Java stores when applicable.
