Allow deleting uninstalled/unused modules/themes/layouts from the filesystem via the admin UI

When you uninstall a module, it only deletes the data. I think that uninstall should remove the module entirely (from the filesystem and the ‘List Modules’ page) and there should be a ‘Clear Data’ tab or button where we clear the data for a module. I think this would be more intuitive this way. Thoughts?

1.30.0 update.php generates incorrect link

I believe my permissions are set up correctly, as I can install modules from the UI. But for whatever reason, I can't update them. I will, however, double check against that documentation.
