Merge pull request #4080 from minrk/task-history change default behavior of database task storage The previous default behavior was to create a new table (sqlite) / database (mongodb) for each Hub instance, so that task history would not be shared by subsequent IPython sessions. I don't think this was the right choice, so this PR switches the default behavior to use the table / database ipython-tasks. The result is that all Hub sessions in a given profile will share history by default, which makes the benefit of the db backends clearer. Configurable behavior remains the same, only the default is changed.
