docs: clarify uninstall run-order + statusLine ceiling

Browse Source 
Follow-up to #228 (issue #226):

- README: state that scripts/uninstall.js must run *before* the host
  remove command, since the script is itself a plugin file and gets
  deleted by the removal (or run it from a separate clone).
- uninstall.js: add a ponytail: comment naming the statusLine match
  ceiling — substring match + whole-key delete removes a combined
  (e.g. caveman+ponytail) statusline wholesale; upgrade path noted.
- Add trailing newline to the file.

These remove the plugin's own files. They leave behind a small amount of state ponytail writes outside the plugin folder: the mode flag, `~/.config/ponytail/config.json`, and (if you accepted the setup nudge) a `statusLine` entry in `~/.claude/settings.json`. Run `node scripts/uninstall.js` (from this repo, or wherever it was installed) to clean those up too. It only removes the statusLine entry if it points at ponytail's own script, so a statusline you set up yourself is left untouched.
