feat(config): add log file size limit configuration #535

This commit introduces a new configuration option `logs-max-total-size-mb` that allows users to set a maximum total size (in MB) for log files in the logs directory. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest log files will be automatically deleted to stay within the specified size. Setting this value to 0 (the default) disables this feature. This change enhances log management by preventing excessive disk space usage.
