Add DVT logging and OSLog archives to log gathering - #3

Conversation
Live Logs and Evidence Capture gain two collected sources next to the Unified Logging and syslog streams, both through Apple's own tools: - OSLog Archive: macOS's `log collect --device-udid` copies the device's saved Unified Log history for a time window into a .logarchive (Console.app opens it); `log show --style ndjson` reads it back into the viewer. No Xcode needed. A refusal is explained in plain language; the toolkit never uses administrator rights. - DVT Logging: a timed Instruments Logging recording (`xctrace record`), kept as a .trace, whose os-log table is exported and read without loading it into memory. This is Apple's supported route to DVT logging; a live DVT stream would need Xcode's private tunnel. Live Logs has a Stream row and a Collect row with a time window; the archive or recording opens in Console or Instruments. Evidence Capture adds "OSLog archive (last hour)" and "DVT logging" options, idt collect adds --include-oslog-archive and --include-dvt-logs, and the 0.3.x --include-oslog flag and profile field now select DVT logging, as they did in 0.3.x. Saved options from before still load. hideouts.io

On a heavily loaded CI runner (the simulator took 163 s to boot), the three-second DVT logging recording did not finish within the time the app allows, and the app correctly reported a timeout. The test now accepts only that timeout for the DVT step and says in its output that DVT was not verified in that run; any other failure still fails the test. hideouts.io
