Show differences (added/removed/changed text) when checking past versions #599

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now, it's possible to view older versions of a page and revert to them; however, it's impossible to see what is different in those versions compared to each other or to the latest (current) version.

Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a way to compare any two versions of the file between each-other, as well as any version to the current one. The UI can look like Wordpress, Confluence or any other similar implementation.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A poor kludge exists currently by using the "show author colors" option, but it's not nearly enough and doesn't show subsequent changes by the same author.

Additional context
Any Wiki with versioning system requires this functionality, as it is essential for teams working together on a document (in Word/LibreOffice and similar tools, it's called "Tracked Changes").
