Get rid of 'store' dependency

We use store in some places (see below) to persist data on client side storages (like localStorage) safely across browsers. However, we also use localforage (wrapped in an async api). Both seem to serve the same use case.

Let's iterate on whether we'd want to remove store in favor of localforage. It seems the main difficulty lies in store being used in a synchronous way while localforage is used in an asynchronous way.

https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/45171 removes one of the store consumers.

Still relevant.

After looking at how lib/user consumes and needs local storage, I think we'll end up needing store more or less for some edge cases. We could refactor to use cookies of course, but I'm not sure it's a worthy improvement.
