Clickhouse-client: Allow to Run with Unaccessable History File (read-only, No Disk Space, File Is Directory, ...)

clickhouse-client: allow to run with unaccessable history file (read-only, no disk space, file is directory, ...). #5431 (proller)
The clickhouse-client now supports running even when the history file is inaccessible due to reasons like read-only permissions, no disk space, or being a directory.

Why it matters

This feature enhances the robustness of the clickhouse-client by allowing users to start and use the client without failures caused by issues with the history file. It prevents disruptions and improves user experience in environments with restrictive file permissions or storage problems.

How to use it

This feature is enabled by default; users do not need to take any special actions. The clickhouse-client automatically handles cases where the history file is not accessible and continues to operate normally.
