Uninstallation of BVCP

Regarding valuable data (such as virtual machines), sysadmins should manually remove BVCP by deleting the installation directories and their contents, plus the init (bvcp-*) files in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. We do not provide an uninstall.sh script because users might have custom system modifications, which could lead to data loss for which we take no responsibility. Although the removal process isn't automated, it requires minimal effort.
