vscode-powershell logs rotation

[o-l-a-v]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.

Summary

Would be great if vscode-powershell could rotate its own log files, as in delete logs older than X days. Maybe a sane default would be 30 days, with a overridable setting in settings.json? Or only keep X latest logs no matter date and time, maybe 20?

PS > Get-ChildItem -Directory -Path ('{0}\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vscode.powershell\logs' -f $env:APPDATA) |
    Sort-Object -Property 'LastWriteTime' |
    Select-Object -First 1 -Last 1

Proposed Design

Get-ChildItem -Directory -Path ('{0}\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vscode.powershell\logs' -f $env:APPDATA) |
    Sort-Object -Property 'LastWriteTime' -Descending |
    Select-Object -Skip 30 |
    ForEach-Object -Process {
        $null = Remove-Item -Path $_.'FullName' -Recurse
    }

I'm currently updating the logging to use the LogOutputChannel, which does automatic rotation.

Until then, they can be completely disabled so as to write no files. There's a setting somewhere, I definitely remember implementing that.
