[patch] Initialise history before adding elements

[Lech Lorens]

The attached patch fixes the behaviour of Vim where histadd() and
searching with * fail to add elements to history if the history is
empty.

How to reproduce:

Problem with histadd():

$ vim -i NONE -c 'call histadd("search", "search")' \
-c 'call histadd("search", "for")' \
-c 'call histadd("search", "some")' \
-c 'call histadd("search", "words")' \
-c 'call feedkeys("q/")'

Problem with searching with *:

vim -i NONE -c 'normal ido' \
-c 'normal osome' \
-c 'normal osearching' \
-c 'normal oplease' \
-c 'normal gg' \
-c 'normal *' \
-c 'call feedkeys("q/")'

Note that the window containing the history is empty, although it should
contain 4 elements in the first case and 1 element in the second case.

Please say exactly what you did. You emailed what address
approximately how many hours ago?
