Description of the new feature/enhancement

Consider enhance the history searching in PSReadLine to use fuzzy-match algorithm as in fzf.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

The searching supported in fzf is more comprehensive. We don't need to support all of them, but replacing the current history searching with fuzzy-match algorithm would be nice.
