      This is caused by the next scheduled call to buildHistory() which will lack the n parameter passed in the header as the loadAllBuildHistory() fails to properly keep track of the headers variable.

      I have a patch that fixes it but I would appreciate a review.

          JENKINS-8660: loading the build history cause an NPE on the History Widget

          loadAllBuildHistory() fails to set the headers field on the replacement buildHistory DOM element.

          The patch fixes the problem by recreating a headers field.
          It also:

          • slightly refactor the loadAllBuildHistory() method for readability
          • add a FIXME note that the server side history widget should fail if the n parameter is missing.
          • add a pre-condition check to the buildHistory() update to catch potential bugs (note that the logging is disabled as Yahoo.log doesn't appear available)
