Modification to LocalFile::getHistory to allow custom repos

FileRepo has a parameter that allows custom factory for creating file object from a row($oldFileFromRowFactory), but prevents it from working because LocalFile::getHistory hardcodes as follows:

$r[] = OldLocalFile::newFromRow( $row, $this->repo );

This fix would allow the existing configuration option to work.

There is an alternative work-around which is to overwrite getHistory in the custom Repo, but since the configuration option already exists, it might make sense to actually make it work.
