Problem/Motivation
It was decided to use "install" instead of "enable" for modules and themes in #3162049: [meta] Better wording of the module life-cycle admin pages. See also:
- #2888657: [meta] Less confusing and more consistent wording needed in module/theme add/install/update
- Modules cannot be in a disabled state anymore, only installed and uninstalled
But modules in the list of modules that are not installed on the "Extend" page (/admin/modules) use the suffix "disabled", in parentheses.

"Uninstalled themes" is used on the "Appearance" page (/admin/appearance) and "uninstalled" in #3611590: Use Installed and Uninstalled on Available updates page, so we should probably use that to stay consistent, rather than for example "not installed".
"disabled" is also used in the text under an uninstalled theme, so also needs an update.
Steps to reproduce
See the list of Modules under /admin/modules ("Extend") use the suffix "(disabled)", even though we install and uninstall modules, not enable/disable as in Drupal 7.
Proposed resolution
To be consistent, the suffix should probably be "(uninstalled)".
We could do this for both modules and themes.
Remaining tasks
Update the relevant files and tests for modules and themes to use "(uninstalled)", and not "(disabled)".
User interface changes
Modules that are not installed will use the suffix "(uninstalled)" on the "Extend" page (/admin/modules).
Introduced terminology
API changes
Data model changes

berdirNot a native speaker, but uninstall to me only makes sense as an action to apply to to something that is currently installed. You can uninstall an extension that is currently installed, but IMHO something that is currently not installed isn't "uninstalled", it's "not installed".

ressaThanks for weighing in. I am also not a big fan of it ... but "Uninstalled themes" and "Uninstalled modules" is used on the "Appearance" (/admin/appearance) and "Available updates" (/admin/reports/updates) pages.
It could be argued that "Not installed themes" was too clunky, so I suppose it was decided to use "Uninstalled themes"?
... but perhaps we can use "(not installed)" for this case, since it would be a better fit? I have updated the MR.

This does not mean that the patch necessarily needs to be re-rolled or the MR rebased. Read the Issue Summary, the issue tags and the latest discussion here to determine what needs to be done.

ressaI tried and failed to fix the merge error via the GitLab GUI ... Someone with Git skills should feel welcome to resolve it locally :)
