Problem/Motivation

On the Update report page, it'd be useful to have a link to view the code changes between two the installed and recommended versions.

e.g. an update for the masquerade module can provide a link to https://git.drupalcode.org/project/masquerade/-/compare/8.x-2.0-rc1...8....

Steps to reproduce

Install the update module, and view /admin/modules/update where a module update is available.

Proposed resolution

Provide a link under the "Recommended version" column to the Gitlab version comparsion/diff page.

We can make the URL configurable, but probably isn't necessary, initial solution is something along the lines of:

$diff_link = sprintf('https://git.drupalcode.org/project/%s/-/compare/%s...%s', $project['name'], $project['existing_version'], $project['recommended']);

But this would also work (allowing individual sites to override as necessary):

$diff_link = strtr(Settings::get('update.diff_url', 'https://git.drupalcode.org/project/@project/-/compare/@existing_version...@recommended_version'), [
  '@project' => $project['name'],
  '@existing_version' => $project['existing_version'],
  '@recommended_version' => $project['recommended'],
]);

We could also decide to hide this behind a configuration if it's not necessary for some sites.
