Add Tabular Diff for CSV files (#14661)

Implements request #14320 The rendering of CSV files does match the diff style. * Moved CSV logic into base package. * Added method to create a tabular diff. * Added CSV compare context. * Added CSV diff template. * Use new table style in CSV markup. * Added file size limit for CSV rendering. * Display CSV parser errors in diff. * Lazy read single file. * Lazy read rows for full diff. * Added unit tests for various CSV changes.
