shell: jump cursor to line end on bash history search

Browse Source 
history-search-* leaves the cursor at the prefix boundary, not the end,
unlike zsh's history-search-end widget. Bind the search functions to
throwaway keys and map the arrows to a macro that runs the search then
end-of-line, so prefix recall lands the cursor at EOL like zsh.
