Feature: Diff viewer - "Show hidden symbols" to include line breaks (LF or CRLF)

As titled.
If there were previous user requests conflicting with my suggestion, then please make it a config.

AvaloniaEdit's ShowEndOfline shows the eol charactor in the content of editor. For example:

You can see that both the hunk indicator and the line with NO newline at end of file shows the \n

And if you have enable Ignore CR at end-of-line in diff, all line-endings changes will be ignored and displayed as \n

The line break characters don't show up for me (no matter "Ignore CR at end-of-line in diff" is on or off):

Please show the line break characters no matter if "Ignore CR at end-of-line in diff" is on or off, and no matter if it's side-by-side diff or not.

I just enable it locally.

TortoiseGit does not depends on git diff command. Instead, it calculates line changes by loading all the two side files. The TortoiseMerge can be used as a standalone file comparation tool.

And if your turn on/off core.autocrlf configure, you can see the line-endings has been changed in TortoiseMerge

• With core.autocrlf=true

• With core.autocrlf=false

I've pushed a commit that shows the line-endings when Show hidden symbols is turned on. But it depends on your local git configurations.

• core.autocrlf which may replace the line-endings when committing
• --ignore-cr-at-eol in git diff command which may ignore the line-ending changes and output all the lines with \n
