Description

Although very similar to #371 , some install scripts do not only generate files, but require a certain command to be run again. A specific case is 'gtk-update-icon-cache', which should be run again after the icons have been removed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing meson.add custom install script() implementation and design a similar API for uninstall scripts, ensuring it handles reverse operations like gtk update icon cache.
