Eelco Dolstra 0356f14459 Add 'nix diff-closures' command
This command makes it easier to see what changed between two closures,
i.e. what packages/versions got added or removed, and whether there
were any notable changes in path size.

For example:

  $ nix diff-closures /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-655-link /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-658-link
