Subject: Retire vendored cacycle_diff.js for a diff-lcs-based diff view

Revisions#diff now computes an inline or side-by-side word diff
server-side (Page#diff_against, lib/html_word_diff.rb) instead of
shipping raw/escaped content to the browser for a 2008-era vendored
JS differ to mangle. View mode is picked via a `view` param, settable
either on the diff page itself or directly from the revisions#index
sticky bar next to "Diff revisions".

Also fixes a pre-existing bug in RevisionsController#diff's single-
revision branch, which set params[:start]/params[:end] instead of
params[:start_revision]/params[:end_revision].
