feat(nuxt): add clear utility to useAsyncData/useFetch (#26259)

docs/1.getting-started/6.data-fetching.md

@@ -150,6 +150,7 @@ Read more about `useAsyncData`.
 - `data`: the result of the asynchronous function that is passed in.
 - `pending`: a boolean indicating whether the data is still being fetched.
 - `refresh`/`execute`: a function that can be used to refresh the data returned by the `handler` function.
+- `clear`: a function that can be used to set `data` to undefined, set `error` to `null`, set `pending` to `false`, set `status` to `idle`, and mark any currently pending requests as cancelled.
 - `error`: an error object if the data fetching failed.
 - `status`: a string indicating the status of the data request (`"idle"`, `"pending"`, `"success"`, `"error"`).
