Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to use lnav to sift through live mutiple K8s pod logs.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be cool if I could just lnav k8s://<pod-selector/label-selector>, maybe in the style of stern or using it to view K8s pod logs.

Describe alternatives you've considered Pipe it myself, write a custom format for how stern outputs logs.

Additional context It would be cool when opening such mixed log files to be able to have lnav split them to seperate views/logical files per a key. So I can just open one big mixed log file, and view the logs for each specific application in it separately.
