Per directory history plugin

This is a implementation of per directory history for zsh, some
   implementations of which exist in bash[1,2].  It also implements
   a per-directory-history-toggle-history function to change from using the
   directory history to using the global history.  In both cases the history is
   always saved to both the global history and the directory history, so the
   toggle state will not effect the saved histories.  Being able to switch
   between global and directory histories on the fly is a novel feature as far
   as I am aware.

# HISTORY_BASE a global variable that defines the base directory in which the

#
# The idea/inspiration for a per directory history is from Stewart MacArthur[1]
# and Dieter[2], the implementation idea is from Bart Schaefer on the the zsh
# mailing list[3]. The implementation is by Jim Hester in September 2012.
