Add option to clear the console in Sandcastle

[jjspace]

Description

As suggested in this comment there is now a button to clear the console for sandcastle.
I also hooked it up so that calling console.clear() inside the sandcastle itself will clear the console mirror as well. I expect this could be useful to refresh the console while logging frequently during renders which some people may want to do.

Issue number and link

No issue, part of #12894

Testing plan

• Open sandcastle locally or in CI
  • CI sandcastle to help test
• Add some log statements in the sandcastle so the console is populated
• Call console.clear() in the code
• Try the clear console button
  • Ensure the button is only visible when the console is expanded

I cannot really "review" the changes on the code level. (I had a short look, and ... "Yeah, 🤷‍♂️ looks OK...").

Beyond that, I spent ~1 hour trying to get the build running, and ~5 minutes testing it.

Building:

The npm run build-sandcastle causes this error for me:

[14:19:03] Using gulpfile C:\cesium\gulpfile.apps.js
[14:19:03] Starting 'buildSandcastle'...
[14:19:05] 'buildSandcastle' errored after 2.74 s
[14:19:05] Error: spawn C:\cesium\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc ENOENT
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:285:19)
    at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:483:16)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21)

Figuring out that this came from

cesium/packages/sandcastle/scripts/typescriptCompile.js

Line 15 in ba462e2

const ls = spawn(binPath, ["-p", configPath]);

already took longer than I'd like to admit. Websearches for why this error appears, and how to resolve it didn't lead anywhere. ("This should work...?!").

Eventually, I changed that typescriptCompile promise to do

execSync("npx tsc -p C:/cesium/packages/sandcastle/templates/tsconfig.lib.json");
resolve(0);

But I should probably not create a PR for that 😶

Testing:

I ran a test for the base functionality, and it worked. And I ran a "stress test", trying to emulate the scenario where the "clear" functionality is most important, namely when some debug log is spamming the console with lots of stuff...

let counter = 0;
let delayMs = 5;
function spam() {
  setTimeout(() => {
    let s = " spam, ";
    for (let i=0; i<100; i++) {
      s += "spam, ";
    }
    console.log(counter + s + "with bacon and spam");
    counter++;
    spam();
  }, delayMs);  
}
spam();

And despite the system being busy with generating that output, the "Clear console" button worked, and it cleared the console immediately, without noticable delays, and even when the console was already filled quite a bit.

Apologies for not clarifying merge order here, oversight on my part. Now that #13014 is merged this PR includes the changes for multiple arguments. Sorry if that makes the review more busy.

Given that, @mzschwartz5 would you be able to look at this one too given your familiarity with my other pr?

Yes but that will probably happen on Monday :)
