we need to make unregisterDeploy to be more robust and clean up registry correctly in this case. (uninstall FX last, after all JRE is uninstalled)

Comments
JavaFX 8 is now part of JRE 8 so one can not uninstall JavaFX 8 runtime alone, but rather, has to uninstall JRE 8

we need to make sure unregisterDeploy clean up all deployment reg keys if it's uninstalling the last deploy on the system.
e.g all of these keys below should be gone.
