colorize output in web ui #74

Related to #3 . It'd be nice for the diff output in the ui to be colorized.

I can think of a couple ways of doing this:

one would be to have the wasm version of the tool produce html output
another would be to postprocess the output with javascript, turning it into html

Either way, css would be needed for coloring, as well as a radio button to turn on/off.

While you're fiddling with radio buttons and css, it'd also be nice to have a dark theme 😉

@mark-pictor-csec yes, color in the UI would be great. The UI is just some Golang code that compiles to WASM. The main binds a bunch of callbacks to an existing HTML framework. I could do the HTML rendering in that code too, and include inline colors in each element.

Next time I work on the UI I'll see what I can do. And for the dark theme too ;) Honestly rebuilding the UI from scratch might be a better approach since what we have now is pretty rough around the edges.
