#24526: Compare two mode can't be triggered from the URL in the new revisions UI

 The revisions comparison UI in version 3.5 and earlier supported URL
 parameters to set the revisions to be compared by setting ''left'' and
 ''right'' query arguments. With the heavily-JS-dependent UI coming in 3.6,
 there isn't a way to link to specific comparison.

 Shouldn't we use pushState to update the URL when comparing two revisions
 so users can continue to link to a chosen comparison? It can be helpful to
 share a link to a given comparison when collaborating on changes or
 auditing where a modification originated from, to name a few scenarios.
