Revert "CPack/NSIS: Sign the uninstaller"

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:revert-cpack_nsis_sign_uninstaller into master

This reverts !512 (merged) and !605 (merged).

The signing implementation does not work on Linux for a couple reasons:

  • The script tries to run the temporary uninstaller executable, but of course this cannot be done except on a Windows host.

  • The ${NSISDIR}\makensis file does not exist because makensis is installed elsewhere.

The result is that existing package configurations can break on Linux. For example, the CPackComponents test fails.

Revert the feature until an alternative implementation approach can be found.
