Go away node/npm

If you haven’t found a use for this script that uninstalls the second largest junk in the world next to Mac/iOS updates, you are either lazy or scared of breaking things.  I am neither, so I polished this script from the different versions you will find on the internet. Oh, I am talking about node/npm.

Happy cleaning!
