Move command line history to a GUI option stored in ``config.xml`` rather than a manual flag file

Description
Currently the CLI history is retained if the file .keephistory is present.
It would be nice if that option was retained as a config setting so that it is restored with that after a re-install.

Maybe it's better to add an option to the WebGUI?

It would need to be on the per-user settings since the file would need to be synchronized to each separate user account with shell privileges.

The MR implemented the config setting/backend part but not the GUI option. And now if the user touches the file manually it gets cleared at the next boot, so there is no way to retain the setting from the GUI.
Additionally, even with the value set in the user it doesn't appear to work. The ~/.keephistory file is not present in /root/ when the admin user has the option in its config.xml section.

I merged a fix for the option check and also added a GUI option when editing the user. Will be in snapshots soon.

Taking another look at this, there is no need to use the flag file at all now. It can be read directly from the config. I'm going to commit a change to handle it that way. It's worked fine in testing so far.

This is working very well. Option is active after config restore, it's only in the config, no more flag file. All OK.
