I think it's more or less done. I'm not sure if identifier links and search should redirect to the diff or to the target version. |

Note: this is work in progress, not ready for review. Comments are welcome, but I don't expect a full review just yet. Mostly posting this to show that there is some slow progress on this feature.
Right now, the feature only supports a split diff view. This neatly solves the "which version should an identifier link to" problem.
How the diffs are generated:
There is a slight efficiency problem with this approach - files can be very similar, but both will get tokenized and formatted separately. And IIRC formatting can take a lot of time.
I don't see a good way of solving that, maybe something smart could be done with the lexer/formatter.
The only optimization that could be worth it, is caching identifiers looked up in the first file for the second file (not implemented yet, and I don't know if it would make sense). I think it would also make sense to limit the size of diffed files - no one should do diffs on the 20 megabytes amdgpu register definitions.
Closes: #25
