Jamil 56c592a27b fix(apple): Make clear logs and log size functions work across the IPC boundary (#7467) ...

The macOS client starting in 1.4.0 uses a system extension for its
network extension package type. This process runs as root and does not
have access to the app's Group Container folder for reading / writing
log files directly, and vice-versa. This means the tunnel now writes its
logs to a separate directory as the GUI app process.

Since the logging functions of clearing logs, calculating their size,
and exporting them assume all the logs are in the same directory, we
need to introduce IPC handlers to ensure the GUI app can conveniently
still perform these functions when initiated by the user.

We already use the Network Extension API `sendProviderMessage` as our
IPC mechanism for adhoc, bi-directional communication through the
tunnel, so we add more handlers to this mechanism to support the logging
functions summarized above.

In this PR we only fix the log size calculation and clear log
functionality. Exporting logs is more involved and will be implemented
in another dedicated PR.
