Add right-click Clear option to debug console

[aussio]

Summary

A small quality of life change to allow clearing the console. I like to add conditional debug logs and they get a tad bit spammy. So this is nice when troubleshooting changes.

Test plan

• Open the debug console via "Show console" button in the bottom of the menu.
• Let some log output accumulate
• Right-click the console button and select "Clear"
• Verify the console text is cleared

Walkthrough

The changes add a console clearing feature to the RuneLite client. A "Clear" action is introduced to the console toggle button's popup menu in ClientUI.java. This action invokes a newly added clear() method in LogConsolePanel.java that clears the console text area. The clear() method uses SwingUtilities.invokeLater to ensure thread-safe execution on the Event Dispatch Thread.

I'll admit this UI a tad bit ugly. It felt like an intuitive place to put the button though.
