Allow to customize the location of the shell history files via the BEANQUERY_HISTORY environment variables. The environment variable name has been chosen to resemble the ones used by sqlite3 and psql, but with the BEANQUERY_ prefix. Setting this environment variable to the empty string disable saving the shell history. Similarly, allow to customize the location of the init file via the BEANQUERY_INIT environment variable. Setting this environment variable to the empty string disable processing of the init file. Furthermore, respect the XGD_CONFIG_HOME environment variable when determining the default location of these files. Tilde expansion is performed on the values of all environment variables: a leading path component equal to ~ is expanded to the user's home directory location. Fixes beancount#272.
