Subject: [PATCH] Use flake based command for uninstaller in README

Fixes #918

This command should work on both non-flake and flake based setups as it
does not require `nixpkgs` to be set in `NIX_PATH`.

Also remove the manual install section as it is unmaintained as far as I
can tell.

 ## Uninstalling
 
-There's also an uninstaller if you don't like the project and want to
-remove the configured files and services.
+To run the latest version of the uninstaller, you can run the following command:
 
-```bash
-nix-build https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/archive/master.tar.gz -A uninstaller
-./result/bin/darwin-uninstaller
+```
+nix --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run nix-darwin#darwin-uninstaller
+```
+
+If that command doesn't work for you, you can try the locally installed uninstaller:
+
+```
+darwin-uninstaller
 ```

-By default, nix-darwin will look in your `NIX_PATH` for this repository at `~/.nix-defexpr/darwin` and your configuration at `~/.nixpkgs/darwin-configuration.nix`.
