Subject: [PATCH] (core) support a ?compare=<docId2> option in document landing
 pages

Summary:
If a `compare` query parameter is supplied, this diff will load
the difference between the referenced document and the current
document into an observable in the GristDoc.

Nothing is done with the comparison yet.  Comparisons are not
yet live - they don't get updated if either document changes.

For convenience, `window.gristDocPageModel` is set as an easy
way to access the DocPageModel from the browser console.

Test Plan: added test
