Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
For a handful of functions, I wind up typing `^` quite often into the minibuffer.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Some sort of `defcustom`, `helm-initial-inputs-alist` to allow the user to specify an initial input in the `helm` minibuffer for a function. Ivy already has this.

Research direction
Start by examining Helm's minibuffer entry points and compare Ivy's existing initial-input behavior. Determine how a defcustom named helm-initial-inputs-alist should map functions to initial input, then verify that the requested functions begin with the configured text without affecting other Helm prompts.
