Subject: [PATCH] history: fix highlighting for inline timestamps

Highlighting the entire record caused custom prefixes to be
parsed as command syntax. For example, using:
`history --show-time="[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S] "`
resulted in the timestamp being colorized as shell code.

Move highlighting inside format_history_record to process the
command string before the timestamp is prepended.

Closes #12300
