Description of the change
I have made a small change to allow the magic_save function to append to an existing file rather than overwrite it.
In using IPython, I often would like to build up a file gradually from the command line history, and the default behavior of overwriting existing files makes this difficult, hence the modification.
I haven't written any tests because I don't know how to put one in the testing framework, but in principle, the test would involve reading an existing file, running magic_save, then checking the file to see that the intended lines were appended correctly.

In the magic function 'save', when the file exists, instead of
overwriting, the option to append has been added.
