Respect "Hide whitespace changes" in plain diff downloading
Description
I prefer reviewing diffs with whitespace changes hidden. And I sometimes open diffs by my favorite editor and print it. But it is impossible to download MR's plain diff with whitespace changes hidden (possible to download with whitespace changes shown). So I have to review diffs with whitespace changes shown or use command line git diff
to get diffs with whitespace changes hidden.
Proposal
It would be nice if "Plain diff" button to download respects whether whitespace changes are shown.
