RFR: 8340923: The class LogSelection copies uninitialized memory [v2]

> The class LogSelection's custom constructor does not initialize the whole _tags array but is lacking a custom copy constructor and assignment operator. This means that any copy will copy uninitialized memory, which is undefined behavior. UBSAN has seen this happen, as reported by Matthias Baesken.
> 
> For some surrounding context: Unified Logging uses a statically defined array size (`LogTag::MaxTag`) but uses the `LogTag::__NO_TAG` to signify the end of the array. Think "NULL-terminated string but log tags".
> 
> We fill the whole array to avoid this issue. Specifically, we filll the remainder of the array with `LogTag::__NO_TAG`.
