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!

Research direction
Look into the existing logs view implementation in the codebase, likely in files like `gui/logs.go`. Review the discussion in the comments to understand any proposed approaches or constraints. The feature requires adding a clear button or keybinding to reset the log buffer. Follow the pattern used for other panel actions, such as the clear command in the terminal view.
