pip uninstall --target

[Namburger]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

When installing a package to a specific path:

$ pip install package_name --target /path/to/install

It would really make sense to have this counter part:

$ pip uninstall package_name --target /path/to/install

Describe the solution you'd like
As mentioned, pip uninstall --target is implemented and I can uninstall a package from a specific path.

Use case:
We're managing our own python environments in our application where we allow users to install/uninstall packages to any directory. Currently, we cannot implement uninstall cleanly with out parsing from the dist-info/RECORD file and deleting the files manually.

See also #8725 and the most important #4575 (btw, they both should be tagged "target" in addition to this issue).
