console: clear() static method

{{APIRef("Console API")}}

The console.clear() static method clears the console if possible.

A graphical console, like those in web browsers, will remove all previous messages; a console displaying on a terminal, like the one in Node.js, will attempt to clear it using an escape code or system API; otherwise the method will have no effect (and no error).
