fix(cli): remove Hermes-managed node/npm/npx symlinks on uninstall

The POSIX installer drops node/npm/npx symlinks in ~/.local/bin pointing
into $HERMES_HOME/node and prepends ~/.local/bin to PATH, shadowing an
existing nvm. Uninstall removed the hermes wrapper but left these behind,
so the user's default node/npm/npx stayed redirected after uninstall.

Add remove_node_symlinks() and call it from run_uninstall. It removes
~/.local/bin/{node,npm,npx} only when each is a symlink resolving into the
current Hermes home's node dir, so a link the user repointed at nvm or a
real binary is never touched. Handles dangling links too.

Closes #34536
