Description
It would be nice if `choco remove` could be added as an alternative to `choco uninstall` just like `cinst` is an alternative to `choco install`.
The reasoning behind this that many of the most popular package managers such as apt, dnf, and homebrew all use `remove` to uninstall/remove a package. Therefore, it is muscle memory to type remove instead of uninstall for some people, myself included.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing `uninstall` and `cinst` command aliases are registered and tested. Add `remove` as an equivalent alias for `uninstall`, then verify that `choco remove` handles packages the same way as `choco uninstall`.
