X.P: Don't read/write to history file if size is 0

This contains a breaking change for readHistory, writeHistory,
historyCompletion, and historyCompletionP to take an XPConfig, so they
are aware of this choice. While the latter two are exported, it seems
unlikely to affect many users.

+      If not `myConf` is lying around, `def` can be used instead.
