libbb: make history saving/loading concurrent-safe

* all history writers always append (not overwrite) history files
* they reload history if they detect that file length has changed since last
write
* they trim history file only when it grows 4 times longer than MAXLINES
* they do this atomically by creating new file and renaming it to old

Unfortunately, this comes at a price:

function                                             old     new   delta
load_history                                           -     346    +346
read_line_input                                     3155    3358    +203
new_line_input_t                                      17      31     +14
...irrelevant small jitter...
