Closes #15792
Closes #15793

Summary of the issue:

1. When going back in the Python console history, modifying a line modifies the history. As a consequence, some previous commands cannot be found anymore in the console history.
2. The clear command control+L in the console does not provide any feedback

Description of user facing changes

1. When going back in the console history, editing a line will not change the item in the history anymore
2. Clearing the console output with control+L will now report a confirmation message.

Description of development approach

1. Remove the line of code that was updating an item in the history. It seemed to be done on purpose, but it seems not appropriate. Maybe it was intended for the last line? I may restore it for the last (empty) line if NV Access wants.
2. Trivial

Testing strategy:
