docs: clarify workspace agent logs retention is based on agent connection
The description was misleading by stating logs are deleted 'after this period' without explaining that retention is based on when the agent last connected, not the age of the logs themselves. Updated to clearly state that logs from non-latest builds are deleted if the agent hasn't connected within the retention period, and that logs from the latest build are always retained.
