add get_session_info to HistoryManager for querying session table

Also set detect_types flags on the connection, so timestamps are
retrieved as datetime objects.

Associated type checking test included.

     %history n     -> print at most n inputs\\
     %history n1 n2 -> print inputs between n1 and n2 (n2 not included)\\
 
     By default, input history is printed without line numbers so it can be
     directly pasted into an editor. Use -n to show them.
 
     Ranges of history can be indicated using the syntax:
     4      : Line 4, current session
     4-6    : Lines 4-6, current session
     243/1-5: Lines 1-5, session 243
     ~2/7   : Line 7, session 2 before current
     ~8/1-~6/5 : From the first line of 8 sessions ago, to the fifth line
                 of 6 sessions ago.
     Multiple ranges can be entered, separated by spaces
     
     The same syntax is used by %macro, %save, %edit, %rerun
 
     Options:
 
       -n: print line numbers for each input.
       This feature is only available if numbered prompts are in use.
 
       -o: also print outputs for each input.
 
       -p: print classic '>>>' python prompts before each input.  This is useful
        for making documentation, and in conjunction with -o, for producing
        doctest-ready output.
 
       -r: (default) print the 'raw' history, i.e. the actual commands you typed.
       
       -t: print the 'translated' history, as IPython understands it.  IPython
       filters your input and converts it all into valid Python source before
       executing it (things like magics or aliases are turned into function
       calls, for example). With this option, you'll see the native history
       instead of the user-entered version: '%cd /' will be seen as
       'get_ipython().magic("%cd /")' instead of '%cd /'.
       
       -g: treat the arg as a pattern to grep for in (full) history.
       This includes the saved history (almost all commands ever written).
       Use '%hist -g' to show full saved history (may be very long).
       
       -l: get the last n lines from all sessions. Specify n as a single arg, or
       the default is the last 10 lines.
 
       -f FILENAME: instead of printing the output to the screen, redirect it to
        the given file.  The file is always overwritten, though IPython asks for
        confirmation first if it already exists.
