Better YAML diffs

diffs for YAML strings in the “changes “ tab of a run are… not great.

It would be nice could either show a semantic diff of the yaml, similar to what it does for json, or even just show a linewise diff, rather than showing the full string replacement.

    Actually, this kind of applies to any non-json multi-line text value.

    For example markdown text in datadog dashboard or monitor descriptions is also highlighted oddly, and shows the full replacement instead of just the lines that changed.

    It would probably be best to do a linewise diff for multi-line text.
