History Range Glob feature

Previously, when using %history, users could specify either a range of sessions and lines, for example:

~8/1-~6/5   # see history from the first line of 8 sessions ago,
            # to the fifth line of 6 sessions ago.``

Or users could specify a glob pattern:

-g <pattern>  # glob ALL history for the specified pattern.

However users could not specify both.

If a user did specify both a range and a glob pattern, then the glob pattern would be used (globbing all history) and the range would be ignored.

---

With this enhancment, if a user specifies both a range and a glob pattern, then the glob pattern will be applied to the specified range of history.
