  Log Message:
  -----------
  history: Add a pathhistory inn.conf parameter

pathhistory is a directory, like every other path* parameter,
and defaults to the value of pathdb, so existing installations are
unchanged.  It covers the whole history file family: the history(5)
text file and its dbz indices (and their .n rebuild variants)
for hisv6, or history.sqlite and its WAL files for hissqlite.  The
tombstone logs stay in pathdb for now as they are expiry state, not
history files.

Particularly important for hissqlite: a ZFS dataset should have a
recordsize matching the database page size (see hissqlite(5)).
