Uninstall doesn't remove permissions from roles [#2850053]

Hi!

As saif in the title, the permissions won't get removed after uninstalling the module.
Steps:
1, Install node_clone
2, Create some roles and add permission from node_clone to them
3, Export the configs
4, Uninstall node_clone
5, Export the configs again

After the second export, only core.extension gets updated and the node_clone.settings get deleted. If you look up the permission YAML files they'll still have the node_clone permissions.
Doing a manual save on the permissions page doesn't make a difference, drupal won't remove them after this either.
To remove these permissions from the roles, you have to do it manually prior to uninstalling the module.

This is a bug with core: #2026983: [regression] Grants for permissions defined by a module are not revoked / removed from Role config entities when that module is uninstalled, and all modules are affected by it.

In the meantime, this module could implement its own hook_uninstall() to clean up the role entities. Or the project maintainers could choose to not implement a one-off fix and rather close this as a duplicate of the core bug.
