    [gdb] Don't init history in batch mode
    
    I noticed in captured_main_1 that init_history is called just before bailing
    out if batch_flag is true.
    
    The history is used only in an interactive session, so there's no need to
    initialize it in batch mode.
    
    Fix this by moving init_history to after the batch mode check.
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
