    sh: Increase default history size to POSIX mandated minimum of 128
    
    The default history size in bin/sh is currently 100 however POSIX.1-2024
    mandates that a default greater than or equal to 128 shall be used,
    therefore this increases the default history size in /bin/sh to 128.
    
    POSIX standards reference:
