Description

Our developers will occasionally leave Tilt running for a long time and/or launch services in DEBUG mode and a lot of content will be logged. After a while, so much content is logged that Tilt becomes sluggish and other issues like https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt/issues/3194 appear.

It would be nice if k8s_resource was extended to allow developers to set a maximum number of log lines for Tilt to retain on a per-service basis (and/or if there was a global flag to set a default to be applied across all services).

This would potentially also resolve some of the drivers behind https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt/issues/1885
