Add button to show all log lines

[dramich]

Currently with large logs it takes many clicks to be able to see the
entire log file or the top of the log file.

This button displays all log lines with one click.

@bradrydzewski two blocks with show logs will be too much, I would prefer to put it near with download button or think about some option to keep show all and 250 in one line. We will come up with some solution.

Chiming in with another idea, it might be cool to do something similar to what slack does and anchor you to the bottom when you first visit a room (or a stage in our case) but automatically load more as you scroll back.

The reason we do not display all logs by default is because logs greater than 2mb in size tend to lock up the browser. This was a significant issue in older version of drone and is the reason for the current user interaction, where you click a button to reveal more logs.

The reason for using a button is simplicity. We could implement more complex user interactions, but the complexity has a cost in terms of development effort and maintenance. The benefits of the complex interaction has to justify the cost. In this case, I think a simple button is sufficient.

Note that I do appreciate the suggestion, even though I prefer a different approach :)

@lnikell Any thoughts on this? I am happy to make the changes.
