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.

Can definitely confirm than am linking against external version of
libedit.

This means that this bugs exists only when linking against external
libedit.  When using the internal libedit there is an additional bug (the
way strvis is used) which coindicentally negates the other bug.

Bug with external libedit then the bug is exposed.

Therefore best to use my supplied version of ast_el_read_history() and
then it will work properly with internal and with external libedit.
