The iron-localstorage-load-empty event is not fired when localStorage is cleared from another window.

[rhofland]

Description

The iron-localstorage element handles the 'storage' event, which is fired when localStorage has been manipulated from another window. When localStorage.clear is called from another window, it clears all entries in the local storage and the 'storage' event is fired. iron-localstorage should be firing the iron-localstorage-load-empty event, but does not.

Expected outcome

'iron-localstorage-load-empty' should be fired when localStorage.clear is called from another window.

Actual outcome

'iron-localstorage-load-empty' isn't fired.

Live Demo

Steps to reproduce

1. Put an iron-localstorage element with a default value in the page.
2. echo the bound value on the page
3. Open the page in chrome.
4. Open up the Developer Tools
5. Go to Application and check the value is in the Local Storage
6. Go to Clear Storage section, and make sure 'Local and session storage' is checked and click 'Clear site data'. This fires the 'storage' event that iron-localstorage is listening for.
7. Since this event isn't handled, the bound value won't update
