perl5db: allow the recorded history item length to be configured

This requires a few small changes.

1. add a new option, which I stored in what looked like one of the
   standard ways
2. only store the item in terminal history if >= this length
3. only add to @hist if >= this length
4. only display hist item if >= this length

I believe #4 is redundant and should be removed, but the code was
already effectively there.
