Title:
  [Scopes] There is no way to uninstall a scope on ubuntu phone

Bug description:
  Currently, I only know that "click unregister" may help to remove an
  installed scope. May I know how I can remove an installed scope on the
  phone if a user does not like to have it in the phone?

  ------ UX Comment ------

  There are two possibilities for "removing" a scope from the phone:

  1 - Unfavourite a scope: 
  If we access the 'Manage Dash' screen (via bottom edge gesture), you can tap on the star icon to remove any scope from the Dash (except the Apps Scope). After doing this, that scope will not be shonw as part of the Dash pagination. You can reverse the action by tapping on the star again.

  2 - Uninstall a scope:
  If we go to the Ubunut Store (accessible from the Apps Scope or by tapping on the Store icon on the Manage Dash header) and we search for a specific scope (e.g.: Today Scope), we can tap on the 'Uninstall' button to uninstall it from the system. A confirmation dialog will prompt you and if you confirm, the scope will be uninstalled and therefore removed permantly from the Dash (pagination) and the Manage Dash screen. You can reverse this action by installing the scope again (same steps as any other app in the store).

  However, we are working towards a entire redesign of Scopes and Dash,
  therefore this is subject to change in the near future. The desired
  solution and specs will be updated as soon as they are available.
