[support] Custom module uninstall() hook

[Cyberswat]

If you write the uninstall hook to drop tables it becomes and option for the
user to select. They are presented with an "uninstall" tab on the modules
page.  After disabling a module the user can click this tab to confirm
dropping databases.  In short Drupal's default functionality is extremely
similar to what you describe.
