[issue44239] Use platform defined data directories instead of ~/.python_history

New submission from oxalica : Currently we use path `~/.python_history` for history file in all platforms. It is not a good choice since it spams in user's home directory. There are already specifications for where to store program data. For Windows, we should use `%APPDATA%/Python/history`;
