Increase shell history number

Please increase shell history number. 200 is little bit low. There is a HISTFILESIZE env we can use for limit that number.

Suggestion: Increase history like 9999 then put export HISTFILESIZE=200 to /etc/profile.d/99-busybox.conf. Users can add their desired history number to /storage/.profile
