Svelte stores become stuck after unhandled exception in subscriber

[nhhollander]

Describe the bug

If any svelte store subscriber raises an un-handled exception, future calls to .set() on any store will not notify subscribers.

In file svelte/src/store/index.js:58 in function set():

At line 58 the run_queue flag is set to true if there are no pending entries in the subscription queue¹. After the queue has finished running, the queue is emptied by calling subscriber_queue.length = 0 at line 67. In the event that an un-handled exception is raised from one of the subscribers, the function exits without clearing subscriber_queue. These dangling items cause the check on line 58 to always return false, preventing the dispatch loop from running until the page is reloaded.
