Added new classes <tt>CompareOp</tt>, <tt>ResourceCompareOp, HistoryCompareOp</tt></li>
<br>All comparison operations can now be written as subclasses of <tt>CompareOp</tt>.
<tt>CompareUIPlugin.runCompareOp()</tt>
generically opens a <tt>CompareEditor</tt> for it. <tt>ResourceCompareOp</tt>
implements a universal two/threeway compare on desktop resources. <tt>HistoryCompareOp</tt>
compares a resource with its most recent edition from the history buffer.
Another example would be a <tt>RepositoryCompareOp</tt>.</ul>
