K9s: copy logs to clipboard

[xetra11]

Describe the solution you'd like
When describe on a pod when can press c to copy it's content to the clipboard. I simply would love to have the same when within the log view of a container. I simple want to press c to copy the log and then return to another terminal and do cat | less and pressing ctrl + insert to inject the clipboard (logs in this case) to less and search for something.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currenlty we can ctrl-s logs to a file but the path etc. is a bit awkward for me to get the logs from. Also it surely would be even more awesome to have less commands in the log view right away.

Just a buffer like weechat's /window bare would be awesome.

Thank you for k9s!

@xetra11 @kaihendry @bbhenry @hawkesnc Thank you all for weighting in!
I think that makes sense but I believe a lot of that functionality is already available right inside k9s without having to resort to an external shell. Here are a few thoughts:

1. You can save the logs and then issue a command to view the screendumps aka sd. Selecting one of these will kick you into your fav editor.
2. You can define a plugin to view the logs and use less or cat. Checkout the plugins dir in this repo for examples.
3. You can use a filter command while in the log view to filter out the logs ie /fred will show all log lines with fred in them

That said there is a PR to dump logs to the clipboard which will be available in the next drop.
