Description

I usually don't want to keep the same logs after I reload the application so it would be nice to have an option in preferences to clear those as soon as the app reloads.

Research direction
The issue requests a preference toggle to clear logs on app reload. Investigate Flipper's preferences handling in the codebase (likely in a preferences component or store). Look for existing similar options like 'clear logs' button. Implement a new setting that, when enabled, clears log data on reload by hooking into the reload event. Ensure the UI updates accordingly. No linked PRs or maintainer comments provide additional direction.
