Description

It'd be really useful to be able to clear the logs view and only show new items as they come in.

This is possible when viewing the logs independently (i.e. via the m keybind) and using the clear command to clear the terminal, but I often find myself jumping between containers to check the logs, so being able to do this within the lazydocker context would be handy!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the logs panel code in lazydocker, likely in `pkg/gui/logs panel.go` or similar. Add a 'clear logs' action that clears the log buffer and refreshes the view. Consider adding a keybinding or button.
