This commit adds a new command to stestr, history. The history command is used for interacting with the history of results in the repository. Prior to this commit you could only interact with the most recent run in the repository via the last command, but anything older was just taking up disk space and never used. The history command to start has 3 subcommands, 'list', 'show', and 'remove'. List will generate a table of all the contents of the repository that will show the run id, the result of the run, when it started, how long it took, and optionally show any metadata for the run. Show will show a run in the repository, this is equivalent to 'stestr last', but takes an optional run id instead of just unconditionally showing the last run. Remove is used to remove runs from the repository, this is useful if you don't need the history anymore and want to clean up some disk space. Fixes #303 Starts #224

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The stestr run history continues to grow over time and can take up multiple gigabytes to store the subunit streams of all the past runs.
Describe the solution you'd like
An stestr command to clear out the N oldest runs or to also delete all the subunit history (but keep the timings db). Something like:
would delete all the subunit history
would delete the 10 oldest runs. The exact syntax can change as I think there are a lot of different ways to slice things up and finding something flexible but easy to use might be a bit trickier.
Describe alternatives you've considered
You can just do this with a bash script pretty easily since the on-disk structure for the file repository is just integers, but it would be nice to have an integrated command to make this simpler. Also for the sql repository type (assuming we ever finish it) having the command would give a consistent interface between both repository types.
