I want the option to allow the console view stay alive after application shutdown

If I’m using the console view to debug during integration testing, I often want to see that my application properly shut down before I release the event log content. I propose a Boolean flag in the console sink constructor that allows the console to persist after the logger stops (until I close it) and also a checkbox in the console UI that lets me ask it to persist in case I start a debug session and decide I want the console to hang around after shutdown.

If a console was left open and I relaunch my application, I think I would just expect a new console to pop up (and I would close out of the old one when I decide I’m done with it).
