Subject: [PATCH] Backport PR #8405: FIX : flip atexit registration

Register the sphinx spcefic atexit function before InteractiveShell
can register it's clean up function.  The functions are executed
last-in, first-out which means in this case the temporary profile
directory is deleted before the final history writing can be done which
results in exceptions/warnings coming out of sphinx.
