Applicationinsights-js: [BUG] Session storage buffers being initialized though configured not to use

[johansuperstar]

Description/Screenshot
The session storage entries AI_sentBuffer and AI_buffer are being initialized even though isStorageUseDisabled is set to true and enableSessionStorageBuffer is set to false. It doesn't have any negative effects for us but the ePrivacy team are wishing that they would not be created.

Steps to Reproduce

• OS/Browser: Tested in Chrome 85.0.4183.102 and Firefox 80.0.1 on Windows 10
• SDK Version [e.g. 22]: @microsoft/applicationinsights-web 2.3.1
• How you initialized the SDK:

import { ApplicationInsights } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-web';

const appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({ 
       config: {
        instrumentationKey: instrumentationKey,
        isCookieUseDisabled: true,
        isStorageUseDisabled: true,
        enableSessionStorageBuffer: false
    } 
});
appInsights.loadAppInsights();

Expected behavior
Session storage entries would not be created.

Great! Is there any coming release planned?

Yep, we are normally establishing a monthly cadence for issues. So the next version should be available early (1st or beginning of 2nd week) next month (Oct, 2020)

Closing as 2.5.9 is now completely deployed to NPM and all CDN endpoints
