This commit adds a new parameter that, when enabled, prunes the session
command history to a known length. This makes it possible to keep a
client-side pooled connection open indefinitely at the cost of making
reconnections theoretically unsafe. In practice the maximum history length
can be set to a value that encompasses a single session using the pooled
connection with no risk to session state integrity. The default history
length of 50 commands is quite likely to be adequate for the majority of
use-cases.
