Description
This is a follow up to the discussion that started in #894.
In short, when logging out from a session, users are still logged in on their identity provider so it would be possible to log into the application again without introducing the password.
This is the expected behaviour, and it's not the responsibility of this library to log out from the identity provider as well. However, in some use-cases this can be a UX problem for users who are not familiar with Solid and may not be aware that the identity provider exists as a different service.
I think it'd be useful to implement this as an optional feature, but it is not straight forward so we can use this issue to discuss about it and gather use-cases.

Research direction
Start by reading the discussion in #894 and the two comments on this issue. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first identify the supported logout flow and the use cases for optionally logging out from the identity provider. Done requires an agreed design and a defined implementation scope.
