Dont re-use tags when route changes

[r0skar]

Hi, I was trying your awesome plugin with @stencil/router, however I noticed, that If a certain route does not have a Helmet tag, previously declared tags just stay "online". This causes a few problems:

Current behavior
I have a page-not-found component, which will trigger if no other route matches the requested path. If I add a <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> to the 404 component and than go back to the homepage, the robots dont change. The only solution I found is to add <meta name="robots" content="index, follow"> to every route in my app, but this becomes very repetitive.

Desired behavior
Dont re-use previously declared tags, but simply remove them, which basically means we fall back to the original tags declared in index.html

I would like to make time and contribute to this issue. Before I dig in from scratch, any existing thoughts on how this should/could be implemented?

I solved this with an abstraction layer that outputs default tags if not otherwise provided. You can see it in practice here:

I this still current? And if so, what would we like to do?
