The gr-diff element was already capable of rendering diffs in either
side-by-side or unified style, but was configured by default to use
side-by-side. The GWT diff UI included an icon button toggle to switch
between these two styles above and to the right of the diff near the
"Diff View Preferences" button. This change introduces a selector in the
PolyGerrit UI to allow similar switching behavior.
Previously, the diff mode was encoded as a private property of the
gr-diff element. Now that the switcher is introduced at the same level
as the "Diff View Preferences" button (one level up from the gr-diff
element) it is changed to be a public property of the element so that it
can be changed through the parent view (in this case the gr-diff-view
element).
A dropdown is added to the gr-diff-view based in style on the
gr-patch-range-select element (which plays a similar role). This
dropdown has options for either of the two diff modes and controls the
diff display through a property on the view.
The view gets a new, computed property called _diffMode which encodes
which diff state should be displayed based on the changeViewState and
the user's preferences. The user's choice of diff view is persisted
across diff views, but is reverted to the preference when the change
view is visited.
A test is added to the gr-diff-view element.
