undergroundwires 0466b86f10 win, linux: unify & improve Firefox clean-up #273
This commit unifies some of the logic, documentation and naming for
Firefox clean-up with improvements on both Linux and Windows platforms.

Windows:

- 'Clear browsing history and cache':
  - Not recommend.
  - Align script name and logic with Linux implementation.
  - New documentation and not including the script in recommendation
    provides safety against unintended data loss as discussed in #273.
- 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data':
  - Rename to 'Clear all Firefox user information and preferences' for
    improved clarity.
  - Add more documentation.

Linux:

- Replace `DeleteFromFirefoxProfiles` with
  `DeleteFilesFromFirefoxProfiles`.
- Migrate implementation to Python:
  - Add more user-friendly outputs.
  - Exclude removing directory itself for additional safety.

Both Linux and Windows:

- Improve documentation for:
  - 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data'
  - 'Clear Firefox history'
