Summary: Support .Rhistory

Initial Comment:
Hook into R's history() mechanism.

1. As a minimum, add those commands using ptr_R_addhistory that are also saved in our internal console history.
-- This would support savehistory(), and history().
1b. Add a GUI-menu item to save history.
2. Support for reading history is trickier, as it may interfere with the saved history.
2a. Add a GUI -menu item to read history (prompting to save first; that hook might go to ptr_R_loadhistory()), manually.
2b. Add an option to use R's history, completely, including restoring .Rhistory, automatically. When this is on, and a history was loaded, the internal rkward history should not be saved. When this is false, simply do not act on ptr_R_loadhistory() during startup.
