Commits: rP8aac55cc57cb: Make "Highlight As..." sticky across reloads in Diffusion and Differential

Summary

Ref T13455. Add container-level storage for persistent view state, and persist "Highlight As..." inside it.

The storage generates a "PhabricatorChangesetViewState" configuration object as an output.

When preferences are expressed on a diff and that diff is later attached to a revision, we attempt to copy the preferences.

The internal storage tracks per-changeset settings, but currently always uses "last update wins" to apply the settings in the UI.

Test Plan

Viewed revisions, changed highlighting, reloaded. Saw highlighting stick in revision view and standalone view.
Viewed commits, changed highlighting, reloaded. Saw highlighting stick.
Created a diff, changed highlighting, turned it into a revision, saw highlighting persist.

Since these may be prone to heavy usage with arguably minimal value for long-term persistence, you could consider a follow-up revision implementing DifferentialViewStateGarbageCollector.

I think this table won't grow too crazily fast, but it's easy and reasonable to GC so maybe I'll add a GC and just set the default policy to something fairly permissive like "365 days".
