RFR: 8353757: Log class should have a proper clear() method

This is a simple refactoring to add a method `Log.clear()`, move `ReusableLog.clear()`'s clearing operations into it and invoke `super.clear()` instead, and add two more fields that should be included in the clear operation but were not because they were added to `Log` after `ReusableLog.clear()` was added and were missed.

A natural question: Are there any other fields in `Log` that should be cleared in `Log.clear()`? The two I've added (`nsuppressederrors` and `nsuppressedwarns`) are the only two that weren't there when `ReusableLog` as added, so presumably not, but it's possible.
