Add bitrot detection to "diff" command

Browse Source 
This introduces a new modifier to the output of the diff command. It
appears whenever two files being compared only differ in their content
but not in their metadata. As far as we know, under normal
circumstances, this should only ever happen if some kind of bitrot has
happened in the source file. The prerequisite for this detection to work
is that the right-side snapshot of the comparison has been created with
"backup --force".
