add a flag to disable creation of new session when consent is revoked

[boblat]

Why?

• to stop data collection and clear cookies in the browser when the user revokes consent which is previously granted
• Consent Revoked API #491 accepted a boolean parameter in call to window.clarity('consent') to indicate whether the user accepted or revoked consent
• if false is passed as the parameter, i.e. window.clarity('consent', false), the existing cookies are cleared in the browser and the data collection stops.
• however, a new session is started after 250ms and the new cookies are created and the data collection resumed.

How?

• by introducing the second boolean parameter, a new session creation can be prevented
• calling window.clarity('consent', false, false) will clear the browser cookies and stop the data collection, and will not start a new session inline with the user's intention of revoking consent.
