Let __fish_prepend_sudo use the last commandline if there is no current one (#7079)

Browse Source 
* docs/faq: Mention prepend_sudo

[ci skip]

* __fish_prepend_sudo: Use $history[1] if commandline is empty

Currently, if you press alt+s with an empty commandline, it inserts
"sudo", which seems fairly useless.

Now, it inserts "sudo " followed by the last history entry, which
makes it a replacement for `sudo !!`.

Why doesn't history substitution ("!$" etc.) work?
--------------------------------------------------
Because history substitution is an awkward interface that was invented before interactive line editing was even possible. Instead of adding this pseudo-syntax, fish opts for nice history searching and recall features. Switching requires a small change of habits: if you want to modify an old line/word, first recall it, then edit. E.g. don't type "sudo !!" - first press Up, then Home, then type "sudo ".

Most of the time, it's used as ``sudo !!``. In that case just press :kbd:`Alt`\ +\ :kbd:`S`, and it will recall your last commandline with `sudo` prefixed (or toggle a `sudo` prefix on the current commandline if there is anything).
Fish's history recall is very simple yet effective:
