Show whitespace and line-ending characters in diff views

[Xarbrough]

It would be immensely helpful to not only see that invisible characters have changed, but also which characters. In the old UI spaces and tabs were indicated by dots and tab symbols, but this is missing in the new UI. Also, the addition of showing end of line characters (CR LF) would be great, because we often deal with accidental changes that need to be reviewed quickly. Currently, I always have to open both versions of the files in a separate text editor to check which line endings or tab/space convention is used and which should be the correct one.

Thanks for reporting this. We didn't add this yet because the source editor we use (AvaloniaEdit) is super slow when displaying white spaces. 

As they're rewriting the text rendering layer I guess if after that displaying white spaces is faster. I'll check that after the changes.
