"Keep local data only until you quit your browser" only deletes cookies, not local storage

See original GitHub issue

Description

Enabling “Keep local data only until you quit your browser” doesn’t clear local storage.

Steps to Reproduce

Enable “Content settings -> Cookies -> Keep local data only until you quit your browser”
In settings, click “Clear browsing data” (time range: “All time”, and check all boxes)
Go to “Content settings -> Cookies -> See all cookies and site data” and confirm the list is empty
Go to https://github.com/ (this will create cookies and “local storage”)
Restart Brave

Actual result:

“Content settings -> Cookies -> All cookies and site data” will not be fully cleared, it still contains “Local storage” items.

Expected result:

All local cache should be cleared
