The failed test frim travis shows It seems unrelated, but could this be a real bug popping up? |

I will merge in a few days if no objection. |

Fixes bullet 3 of #8447.
In particular after prefix-searching in history, it's easy to get stuck in very old history. Then there is no easy way to get back to the end of history (I usually delete the current line and press enter...).
history_last, with "Alt-<", fixes that. I think I would want to add the^Gshortcut to "cancel" history navigation and get back to last entry (as a synonym for "Alt-<").
