fix(clerk-react): Initialize isomorphic clerk with useRef

[panteliselef]

Description

Avoid memoizing the singleton, instead use a reference to store it, and then destroy it.

If logs are added when creating/getting the singleton and when clearing it, in the previous implementation you will notice that clearing occurs after the initializion causing the singleton to be set to null.
