Summary DumpRenderTree should clear window.sessionStorage between tests

For the following bug (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32292), a new test (plugins/netscape-dom-access-and-reload.html) used the same sessionStorage variable name as another test (plugins/reloadplugins-and-pages.html). The second test failed because the variable was already set, causing the test to behave differently than expected. 32292 worked around it by using a distinct variable name, but it should probably be fixed in DumpRenderTree.

Seems reasonable. With tests running in random order, one cannot depend on sessionStorage being set by a previous test.
