Description

The `LedgerIframeBridge.destroy` method does not destroy/remove the iframe from the document: when calling `destroy` and then `init` again, the document will have two Ledger iframes, which could lead to unexpected behavior. Because of this, the default behaviour of `setOptions` is duplicating the current iframe.

We should remove the current iframe from the document when `destroy` is called.

Research direction

Start at the LedgerIframeBridge.destroy method and trace how init and setOptions use the iframe lifecycle. Verify the current iframe is removed when destroy is called, and confirm that destroying then initializing again leaves only one Ledger iframe in the document.
