Summary:                    asterisk command history loads as unusable garbage
Description: 
When using asterisk interactively with command interface a history file is
created (~/.asterisk_history). Lines written to the history file are
white-space encoded (in ast_el_write_history:history:case
H_SAVE:history_save:strvis).

But when the history file is loaded it reverse (strunvis) is not
performed.  Therefore the history becomes unusable garbage.

I will also clarify something that might be of further interest to you.

My initial echo test was done on an xterm.  It goes without saying that
the TERM setting for an xterm is generally xterm.

See here: <https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16858#118926>

I made a subsequent test on the console for an additional check. So I was
repeating the result, albeit under slightly different conditions.

But it was good doing so because it provided you with another prefect
opportunity to attack me.
