Allow configuring the max log files to keep

What type of enhancement is this?

User experience

What does the enhancement do?

Currently, we don't limit the total number of log files. A long-running database may generate too many log files. We need to limit the max log files to keep by default.

Implementation challenges

The tracing-appender already supports setting the max log files. We can expose this in our LoggingOptions.

I would like to give this a try. I wonder what number of the max_log_files by default is considered proper? @evenyag

We rotate files hourly, so it should have about 24 files per day (we only consider info logs). If we want to keep logs for 30 days, we can set the default to 720.
