readline: Fix buffer overrun on re-add to history 

readline_hist_add() moves the history entry to the end of history.  It
uses memmove() to move rs->history[idx + 1..] to rs->history[idx..].
However, its size argument is off by two array elements, so it writes
one element beyond rs->history[], and reads two.

On my system, this clobbers rs->hist_entry and the hole right after
it.  Since the function assigns to rs->hist_entry in time, the bug has
no ill effects for me.

Spotted by Coverity.
