build(cmake): simplify and speed up the uninstall target

More specifically, replace exec_program with file(REMOVE ...) so that
the uninstall target is run during the build stage instead of the
configure stage, significantly speeding up the target.

The code snippet that was removed is taken from the cmake FAQ
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/-/wikis/FAQ#can-i-do-make-uninstall-with-cmake.
However, this uses undocumented features such as IMMEDIATE when calling
configure_file, which is an artifact from cmake 2.x (it's so old it's
difficult to find information on it). Similarly, this particular code
snippet has been around for a long time and originated from the cmake
mailing lists. Based on this I believe the in-file was a workaround for
the limitations of cmake back then and that it's not required anymore.
