[ruby/irb] Make save-history extension safe for concurrent use

This makes the save-history extension check for modifications to
the history file before saving it.  If the history file was modified
after the history was loaded and before it was saved, append only
the new history lines to the history file.

This can result in more lines in the history file than SAVE_HISTORY
allows.  However, that will be fixed the next time irb is run and
the history is saved.

Fixes [Bug #13654]
