simplify HistoryIterator message ordering
rename reverse -> oldest_first, which is more obvious what it does. Then, honor it entirely - if you specify no `after` endpoint, we default to the beginning of message history, similar to how `before` defaults to the end of message history. This is a breaking change, and will change the behavior of any iterator that previously would have been returning messages in a weird order for limits over 100 `for msg in history(reversed=True, limit=300)` would return the newest 300 messages, in a messed up order (100..0, 200..100, 300..200). `for msg in history(oldest_first=True, limit=300)` will now return the oldest 300 messages in order. And so on. `for msg in history(after=msg)` is unchanged, this previously would return the oldest 100 messages after `msg`, oldest->newest order, and still will.
