Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Add more buttons to the edit window next to the SAVE and INSTALL:
- CLEAN BUILD FILES
- LOGS

Maybe add the menu from the dashboard (in the picture below)

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

Usually during development, you want to switch between LOGS and EDIT windows, now you have to go through the dashboard (or first upload the FW), but if you have dozens of devices, you will always start at the top and you must always find your device.

Also, usually with the arduino framework, the CLEAN BUILD FILES is not necessary mostly, but with the IDF is used more often and it is not accessible from the edit window.

Maybe add checkbox like this:

**Additional context**

Research direction

The request concerns the ESPHome dashboard edit window and asks for LOGS and CLEAN BUILD FILES actions alongside SAVE and INSTALL. No implementation file, test, or entry point is named; start by locating the edit window and the existing dashboard menu actions, then verify that both actions work for the selected device without losing its context.
