Allow PI Server components to be removed at installation time

Currently, when you run the PI Server install kit to perform an upgrade, existing PI Server components cannot be unselected, and so they are upgraded. This gives the impression that they cannot be uninstalled, but they can actually be uninstalled by modifying the installation in Programs And Features in the Control Panel. This is unintuitive. Please allow PI Server components to be uninstalled at the same time as upgrading other PI Server components, otherwise many of the legacy components will continue to live unnecessarily in many customers' PI systems.

    It is unusual for a new installation kit (upgrade) to allow users to remove components that were installed by an older installation kit. In order for this to work, much "magic" would need to be done by the new installation kit to trigger the uninstall function of the previous installation kit. In addition, it's not guaranteed that the new installation kit would have the same components as the previous installation kit which further complicated this use case. As such, we have no plans to implement this idea.
