Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Unless I'm overlooking something, we can't remove cart attributes currently. Only updateAttribute is exposed which means even using an empty string keeps the attribute and we can't set null since string is expected.

Describe the changes you are looking for

Add removeAttribute interface which has a payload like:

{
  /**
   * The type of the `AttributeRemoveChange` API.
   */
  type: 'removeAttribute';

  /**
   * Key of the attribute to add or update
   */
  key: string;
}

Similar to the removeMetafield or removeNote change apis.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Tried setting to null or empty string but cart attribute remains.

+1 for this 👍🏻

This is a necessary feature since the alternative is empty attributes in the order, which is not great. +1
