feat: Add diff viewer and deployment UI for workspace forks

- Add backend endpoint to compare forked workspace with parent
- Add deployment endpoint to sync changes between fork and parent
- Create frontend diff viewer component to visualize changes
- Support bidirectional sync (deploy to parent or update from fork)
- Track versions ahead/behind for each item
- Allow selective deployment of changes
- Update OpenAPI specification for new endpoints

This feature allows users to see and manage differences between forked workspaces entirely through Windmill's UI, without needing external git operations.
