Summary
Allow the user to retrieve historical data for the target of the backend.
Details and comments
This is similar to the support that already exists for backend.properties. For target, we defined a new method - target_history, since target is defined as a property.
Note that when we try to pass the datetime parameter to defaults(), it does not work, because there is no support for this parameter on the server side.
See similar support in Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-provider#535.
