rP1d72a5f6832d: Differential - finesse Differential diff view controller

Summary

Fixes T7229. Some usability issues around this controller - basically you can't leave comments with it and its not particular useful compared to the revision page.

Ergo, if there is a revision associated with a given diff, just re-direct back to the revision page with the proper diff loaded.

Test Plan

Tried to view a diff on the standalone controller attached to a revision and instead was re-directed to the revision view page with the proper diff loaded.

Some inlines, take 'em or leave 'em.

src/applications/differential/controller/DifferentialDiffViewController.php
30–41	Let's just redirect to `/Dxxx?id=yyy`? I don't think this page is actually ever useful for diffs that are attached to revisions.
132	...then we can get rid of this.
src/applications/differential/view/DifferentialTransactionView.php
148–160	I'm not sure this is actually useful, since the text directly adjacent to it is already linked. Specifically, I don't understand what a reasonable user could be thinking that this would help them with. I also think this is potentially more confusing, because this jumps you to a specific place within the diff, despite being labeled "On Diff X", which I would expect to take me to the base URI of that diff, especially when I have two different links to click which are adjacent with different labels. But I don't think we should send the user there because that navigation action seems pointless. Do you think this is really an improvement? e.g., do you find this more clear? I don't really care strongly, it just seems kind of weird/unexpected to me.
