Title:
  Clear cache and cookies when uninstalling a WebApp

Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When a WebApp is uninstalled both cache and cookies should be removed
  to ensure a new installation will start from a clean state.

  - Cache: $ rm -r /home/phablet/.cache/<name-of-app>
  - Cookies: $ rm -r /home/phablet/.local/share/<name-of-app>

  This issue has been discussed in "How clear cache and cookies of
  WebApp? (Gmail WebApp)" on the ubuntu-phone mailing list. A possible
  negative side-effect of *not* clearing cookies and cache is described
  in the thread.
