Kiali: Enhance logging UI to show multiple container logs in split screen

[abonas]

Logging UI (existing UI) - enance it so it allows splitting the screen into 2 parts:
one part will show Envoy container logs (for example right half of the screen) and the other part shows applicative container(s) - logs.
First step could be manual scroll by users in both to see for the same timestamp the logs.
for more advanced use case and better UX - correlate automatically the logs timestamps from several sources so when scrolled, all container logs show the same timestamp in parallel

After:

@mtho11 @lucasponce we recently upgraded kiali to v1.17.0 and observing that the split screen functionality works only if there are 2 containers in a pod but if the pod has more than 2 containers the logs are missing.. we have a service that has application container, envoy container and a consul-template container.. the workloads logs module shows application and envoy container logs but not consul-template container logs.. please let us know if this needs a new GitHub issue created or the same issue will be reopened to fix it?
