Add option to hide chat history settings via default.properties

Description

One may need to force usage of a history. In this case the option to disable the history should be removed from the preferences and the history should be preserved (Clear button should be removed from the context menu or grayed out).

Added HIDE_HISTORY_SETTINGS option to default.properties file. When enabled, it hides history settings from the preferences and removes Clear button from the context menu in the Chat window.

Wasn't able to find a way to override settings in spark.properties. So a user can still disable chat history by editing config file. But then he can also delete whole history, by manually deleting history files. Advanced users can't be stopped from getting rid of their history anyway. So this option will at least stop less advanced users from disabling and deleting their history.
