A lot of times when making major changes to content or how artifacts are built, it's helpful to be able to diff the before and after to make sure only what we expect to change changed. For example, this would've been useful for the `create_disk.sh` to osbuild migration or the more recent tier-x migration (where I ended up doing a lot of comparisons by hand). Now with the move of the live ISO to osbuild, we have a need for it again. Add a new `cosa diff` command for this. The command supports different kinds of diffs and more can easily be added. For now, I've focused on the core ones (RPMs, OSTree content, initramfs) and the live artifacts since those are the needed currently. ``` $ cosa diff -h usage: cmd-diff <snip> options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --from DIFF_FROM First build ID --to DIFF_TO Second build ID --gc Delete cached diff content --rpms Diff RPMs --ostree-ls Diff OSTree contents using 'ostree diff' --ostree Diff OSTree contents using 'git diff' --initrd Diff initramfs contents --live-iso-ls Diff live ISO listings --live-iso Diff live ISO content --live-initrd-ls Diff live initramfs listings --live-initrd Diff live initramfs content --live-rootfs-ls Diff live rootfs listings --live-rootfs Diff live rootfs content --live-squashfs-ls Diff live squashfs listings --live-squashfs Diff live squashfs content ```
