Edit the selected line of a diff from the focused main view

Reading a diff is often how you notice something to fix, and the file and
line are right there in front of you — so pressing edit opens the file at
the line under the selection, as it does in the staging view.

The line number the diff shows is the line number in the version the diff
is of, which for a commit's diff is not where that line sits today, so it
is carried forward the same way clicking a diff-renderer hyperlink already
does. A file header names no line, so it just opens the file.
