Old "Lua" output channel remains active after restarting server

[ian-h-chamberlain]

Which OS are you using?

MacOS

Expected Behaviour

When restarting the language server, I expect the output channel to be either

• cleared and reused by the new server instance
• or deleted and a new one used to replace it

Actual Behaviour

The old channel is never destroyed, leaving multiple channels with the same name which can be confusing if you're looking for new channel output.

Reproduction steps

1. Open a Lua file
2. Run the Lua: Restart Language Server command (many times makes it more obvious)
3. Open the output channel selector dropdown (Output: Show Output Channels...)

Additional Notes

I think this is probably pretty simple to fix, just by either clear()ing and reusing or destroy()ing the OutputChannel used for logging.
