This feature is relatively easy to implement.

I think it is best done by adding an optional argument `add-history' to
`find-file' (and similar functions like `find-file-other-frame'), so
that Lisp callers can specify to update `file-name-history' even if the
file name was not read interactively.  Any objections?
