Implement LS cleanup

[BerkliumBirb]

In @logux/client@0.21.1 localStorage may be clogged with old client identities.

Is there a way to clean up this?

Seems like a bug. Can you post the full name of the key, what browser and how exactly do you use Logux (what log storage, how create Logux client).

FF 130.

import { CrossTabClient, IndexedStore } from "@logux/client";
import { LocalPair } from "@logux/core";
import { nanoid } from "nanoid";

const pair = new LocalPair();

export const loguxClient = new CrossTabClient({
  store: new IndexedStore(),
  server: pair.left,
  subprotocol: "1.0.0",
  userId: nanoid(),
});

// Some loguxClient.type("...", ...) calls

loguxClient.start();

Got it. The problem is because you create unique user ID every time.

userId: nanoid(),

In this case you need to call client.destroy() to clean all data.

We can't add built-in feature because most of the users need opposite, the persistence local-first data with real user ID from database.

I tried to use "stable" userId (saving it into localStorage), but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. Will report when have more info about it.
