When tamper protection is enabled and no maintenance token is provided, the uninstall silently exits with the package manager's error code. Capture the exit code and surface an actionable error message pointing users to FALCON_MAINTENANCE_TOKEN or API credentials. Closes #491

This brings the Linux scripts to parity with the Windows uninstall script which already handles this case.Also fixes a pre-existing
