Description

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

When using tiup playground v8.5.0 it will install multiple components of the given version. But to clean up afterwards each component can only be deleted by listing all of them manually.

tiup uninstall tidb:v8.4.0 pd:v8.4.0 tikv:v8.4.0 br:v8.4.0 cdc:v8.4.0 ...

it is hard to know if any component is missed.

Describe the feature you'd like:

Add an option to uninstall all components matching a version.

tiup uninstall --all-with-version v8.4.0
# alternative syntax
tiup uninstall '*:v8.4.0'

Why the featue is needed:

Simplify removal of outdated/unused component versions, while keeping the active versions intact.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

Research direction

Start by locating the tiup uninstall command and its handling of component arguments and versions. Review how installed components are enumerated, then define matching behavior for --all-with-version or the proposed wildcard syntax; done means all components for the requested version can be removed without affecting other active versions, with command coverage added where the existing uninstall behavior is tested.
