Add the history import command (#13450)
# Description

Adds a simple command for importing history between different file
formats. It essentially opens the history of the format opposite of the
one currently selected, and writes new items to the current history. It
also supports piping, because why not.

As more history backends are added, this may need to be extended -
either make the source explicit, or autodetect based on existing files.
For now it should be good though.

This should replace some of the work-arounds mentioned in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9403.

I suspect it will have at least one problem:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/9403 mentions the history file
might be locked on Windows. That being said, I was able to successfully
import plaintext history into sqlite on Linux, so the command should be
functional at least in that environment.

The locking issue could be solved later by plumbing reedline history to
the command (so that it doesn't have to reopen it). But first, I want to
get some general input on the approach.

# User-Facing Changes
New command: `history import`

# Tests + Formatting
There's a unit test, but didn't add a proper integration test yet. Not
entirely sure how - I see there's the `nu!` macro for that, but not sure
how feasible it's to inspect history generated by commands ran that way.
Could use a hint.2
