Add cep for a new history format #10

Additionally we should formalize that a conda environment does not require a history file to exist.

There are several conda command like conda list that require the history file to exist but for much of conda operation this is simply not needed

If we're going to do that, then we need to also define what makes some directory a conda environment. In the absence of any other standard, I've been using "if foo/conda-meta/history exists, then foo is by definition a conda environment". (Possibly one that's been tampered with, but a conda environment nonetheless.)

Marius and I were discussing and maybe the existence of a conda-meta folder is enough?
