Add a Vuex action that changes what `commit` the Diffs app is currently viewing

What does this MR do?

For #18140 (closed).

Adds a Vuex action that changes the current commit that the Diffs app is viewing.

Why

In order to load commit-by-commit information in the Diffs app, it needs some way to replace just portions of the state without triggering a complete page reload.

This action clears the currently loaded diff files (using the new SET_DIFF_FILES mutation), and swaps the endpoints to be used for fetching new data in the future to point to the new commit.

It then makes a request (via another action) for the diff metadata, which will as a matter of course overwrite the commit in state. Any interested components can observe this commit change and respond appropriately.

Screenshots

N/A, this is ~backstage work.
