Render CSV diffs in table view

Release Notes

It can be challenging to view a CSV to understand the data and how it is related in columns and rows, especially with large files. Previously, this information was presented as raw text in GitLab repositories. We've improved the rendering of this type of data and now when diffed in GitLab, CSVs are represented as a table with the actual comma separated values.
