Research direction

Start with the referenced dojotoolkit.org dojox/storage page and compare its dojo.addOnLoad example with the current documentation approach. Review dstore's Stores.md and the LocalStorageProvider AMD-module usage, then update the documentation with working modern guidance and a clear note about deprecated APIs.

Description

@spaceone commented on Mon Sep 18 2017

https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/dojox/storage.html says to use the deprecated:
dojo.addOnLoad() and the example aren't even working. It seems dojo.addOnLoad is never called.

Could you upgrade the documentation to reflect an modern state?
At least say a word that https://github.com/SitePen/dstore/blob/master/docs/Stores.md could be used instead? Or how to use dojox/storage/LocalStorageProvider as an AMD module?

Note that this repo is for Dojo 2... so I'm going to move this issue to the dojo/docs repo where we'd be happy to accept a pull request to get this landed.
