Support line-based license diff #642

Description

@oliver

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem you're trying to solve.

I want to get a license diff that is in a "more standard" format. E.g. I posted a license diff at cloudpipe/cloudpickle#503 (and licensee diff was really helpful for this analysis!); but due to the --word-diff format it is difficult to see the changes quickly.

Describe the solution you'd like

If licensee could display the license diff in the "normal" line-wise format, I could use the diff Markdown language indicator in such issues, and then Github would highlight the differences with red/green colors.

This could also be implemented with a new command line option.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative would be to use the current word-diff format and manually point out the relevant differences. That's tedious though.

Maybe there are also tools for converting a word-based diff to a line-based diff, but I didn't find any with a quick search.
