nix-shell does not handle Mac OS Terminal session history correctly

[equationcrunchor]

Describe the bug
Opening a nix-shell in the Terminal console creates a shell which loads session history from ~/.bash_history, but appends new commands to the specific session history file in ~/.bash_sessions/`. The result is that you can't access your previous commands in the nix-shell like you usually can in a shell.

A workaround is to set SHELL_SESSION_HISTORY to 0 in the .bashrc to disable the unique session history feature.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Terminal on Mac OS.
2. Open a new nix-shell.
3. Enter some commands.
4. Exit the nix-shell.
5. Re-enter nix-shell. Attempt to access commands from previous session history. They will not be present.

Expected behavior

I should be able to access my session history from previous sessions.

nix-env --version output

nix-env (Nix) 2.10.2
