Windows GUI: The 'Diff' window, the 'Pending changes' view, and the '2D revision tree' view are now able to show image diffs/contents. The following image formats are supported: bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, jpe, jif, jfif, jfi, png, tiff, tif

The Image diff viewer allows to show diffs in four different modes:

* Side by side: View both images on two panels (left and right).

* Onion skin: The images are blended. A slider allows to show left or right image.

* Differences: A single image shows the differences between them. This option is only enabled when the size of both images are the same.

* Swipe: View portions of each image moving an slider.

The Image diff also shows differences in the image properties.
