fleet-maintained apps Cloudfare WARP & Box Drive fail to uninstall, give false positive

[PezHub]

Fleet version: latest main

Web browser and operating system: N/A

---

💥  Actual behavior

Both FMAs fail to uninstall and provide the user with a false positive "successful uninstall" message. Note: The uninstalls were both attempted while the apps were closed.

🧑‍💻  Steps to reproduce

1. Install both FMAs on a host
2. Once complete, uninstall from the host details page
3. Observe the output for each one, but check the host to verify the app is still in the Applications folder and can be launched successfully

@georgekarrv @PezHub take it with a grain of salt as this might be an error on how I understand the homebrew stranzas, but I believe unless we customize the scripts ourselves, this is how those are going to work. I sent a message about this in Slack:

For the uninstall script, we're translating metadata we get from homebrew. I noticed that some apps don't include directives to quit the app when open, for example (as I would expect an uninstall script to do). So each app will have to be quaed with some nuance

ccing @george Karr on this one. for Box Drive, it has a script directive to run an uninstall script the app provides. When run as root you get an error, when run as a user you get asked for the root password... so this one doesn't work great
