#112 Drop repeated occurences of the same command in rawhistory view

I am using rawhistory view + keyword search, because I want to make sure most recent commands are on top (I am so used to this behaviour, I do not even think about it.)

It is really not useful, if multiple occurences of the same command appear in the view. It can look as follows:

tbabej@thinkpad$ python 
Type to filter, UP/DOWN move, DEL remove, TAB select, C-f add favorite, C-g cancel
- HISTORY - view:history (C-/) - match:keywords (C-e) - case:insensitive (C-t) - 18738/61621/0 -----------------------------------
 python
 python
 python setup.py test
 python setup.py test
 python setup.py test
 python setup.py test

 python setup.py test
 python
 sudo python setup.py install --force
 sudo python setup.py install --force
 python setup.py test
 python setup.py test
 sudo python setup.py install --force
 sudo python setup.py install --force

We should filter these non-unique occurences out, keeping only the most recent occurence (so that the results are sorted by how recently they were used).

Then, the output above would become:

tbabej@thinkpad$ python 
Type to filter, UP/DOWN move, DEL remove, TAB select, C-f add favorite, C-g cancel
- HISTORY - view:history (C-/) - match:keywords (C-e) - case:insensitive (C-t) - 18738/61621/0 -----------------------------------
 python
 python setup.py test
 python setup.py tests
 sudo python setup.py install --force
... lots of maybe useful commands that can appear on the screen now

Makes sense - I will make what you suggested the default + there will be option to keep duplicates to get "true raw" view of history (as it might be useful in certain cases).

(hstr_history.c:106 w/ option duplicates keep only latest occurrence)
