Rollup merge of rust-lang#131181 - dev-ardi:custom-differ, r=jieyouxu

Compiletest: Custom differ

This adds support for a custom differ for compiletests. It’s purely visual and helps produce cleaner output when UI tests fail.

I’m using an environment variable for now since it’s experimental and I don’t want to drill the cli arguments all the way down. Also did a bit of general cleanup while I was at it.

This is how it looks [with debug info silenced](rust-lang#131182) (rust-lang#131182)
