5032: Make it easier to compare changes to common image types

What version are you running?

5.0.6

What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?

Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

If I modify a .png or .jpg file in a review request, the modified file is listed in the Review Board diff as "This is a binary file. The content cannot be displayed." For common types of of image files (I'd guess that PNG and JPEG probably be good enough 99% of the time), it'd be nice the diff view could display the old and new versions of the image side-by-side. (There are many other better ways to show diffs for two images, but side-by-side comparison would be the simplest start.)

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Firefox 134.0.1 on Windows 11 2023H2
