Add 'uninstall' target to CMake build

When CMake performs the 'install' step, it keeps track of the installed
files by listing them in the `install_manifest.txt` file. The 'uninstall'
step reverses the installation by removing the files listed in the
manifest. This solution is taken directly from the CMake FAQ:
