Ticket #3076: copy/move doesn't work if num_history_items_recorded=0.

How to reproduce:
1. Set num_history_items_recorded=0 in my $HOME/.config/mc/ini
2. Run mc.
3. Press F5 to copy and then enter.
Result: nothing happens.

Solution: refactoring of initial text usage in input line.
Use def_text to fill WInput:buffer when WInput is created.
Then overwrite WInput::buffer content from history if history usage
is enabled.
