Description

**Describe the bug**
Keyman Desktop 11 and 12 leave a few things lying about after uninstall:

Registry:

* HKCU\Software\Keyman\Window References
* HKCU\Software\KeymanDesktop_UninstallKeyboards

File system:

* %ProgramData%\Keyman\Keyman Engine\*
* %LocalAppData%\Keyman\Diag
* %CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Keyman\Cached Installer Files

Care must be taken in upgrade scenarios to avoid deleting files/settings that are still required!

**Keyman Desktop:**
- OS: All Windows versions
- Keyman version: 11.x, 12.x
