 Related tickets on extending Themes to have Plugin features: #7795 and
 #14849 but those deal primarily with activation and deactivation centering
 around 'switch_themes' action.

 From looking at /wp-admin/includes/plugin.php, adding support for
 uninstall is a separate concern (and it doesn't have the issue blocking
 activation/deactivation).

 Should is_uninstallable_plugin, register_uninstall_hook and
 uninstall_plugin be extended to check theme directory or should versions
 (is_uninstallable_plugin, register_uninstall_theme_hook and
 uninstall_plugin) be added to theme.php?

 Advantage of the first method is that the register_uninstall_hook could be
 reused for Themes where in the second, a new, less attractive name would
 be needed (register_uninstall_theme_hook?) Also, there's no theme_basename
 as it was reverted/removed.
