test: avoid writing ~/.bash_history #15621

Problem:
- If I run 'make test' on Linux (Fedora), a few lines like
  /path/to/neovim/build/bin/shell-test REP 31 line
  /path/to/neovim/build/bin/shell-test REP 41 line
  are written to my ~/.bash_history.
  These comes from from test/functional/terminal/scrollback_spec.lua.
- If $HISTFILE is unset, shell will not write to history file.
  But bash sets $HISTFILE to default value (~/.bash_history) if it is unset.
- Unknown how to set an env var to empty string in CMake. These do NOT work:
  set(HISTFILE "")
  set(ENV{HISTFILE} "")
  unset(ENV{HISTFILE})

Solution:
Set HISTFILE=/dev/null
