docs: Update guide to remove user data on macOS when uninstalling Zed (#52631)

I recently encountered some issue on my mac and I tried to uninstall Zed
completely. However the current guide to remove user data does not cover
some configs that Zed uses. There are also some directories that should
be removed according to the doc but never exist. So I have this pull
request to make the user data directories more accurate, according to my
own experience.
