Better handling of big log files to avoid crash of the viewer

Comienza con el punto de entrada del visor de registros y reproduce el fallo usando un archivo de registro con más de 60.000 entradas. Inspecciona la consola del navegador en busca del error de React indicado y determina si el visor debería limitar las entradas o paginarlas; se considera terminado cuando los registros grandes se muestran sin dejar la página en blanco.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set loglevel to in config/config.php to 0 ('loglevel' => 0).
2. Execute many actions which will trigger a log message to get written.
3. Open the log viewer when the logfile has more than 60000 entires.

Expected behaviour

The log viewer displays the log.

If the log is too big to be displayed, truncate to the newest n entries (where n is a value which can be handled by the frontend - for example 1000 or 5000) or paginate the log.

Actual behaviour

The log viewer crashes, so the page will get blank. It's not clear when exactly this happens. I have seen this with a logfile which counts about 62000 entries, but I believe the actual limit is lower and also depends on what browser and runtime environment you use.
