histedit: break _histedit function into smaller pieces (add _newaction)

This is a part of bigger effort to refactor histedit. Initial steps are to
break _histedit function into smaller pieces which will supposedly be more
understandable. After this is done, I will have a better understanding
of how histedit works and apply that to fix issue4800.
