Subject: [PATCH] zsh: Add bash-like alt-dot hotkey

Allows pressing <alt-.> when in insertion mode in zsh to add the first
(then second, third, ...) argument from the last line to the end of the
current line.

Especially useful for things like:

```
mkdir -p my/folder/deeply nested
cd <alt-.>
```

to instantly move to the folder!
