[FEAT] add the ability to compare two different configurations

[stefanobartoletti]

It would be nice to have a way to compare two different full configurations, and be able to highlight only rules that are different between them.

A possible example would be to compare config-1 and config-2 and only have a list of rules that

• both configs are setting, but with different values
• one of them is setting, while the other is not

basically the same logic behind a common diff in a git context, for example.

This is just a "nice to have" suggestion, nothing really urgent or critical, but maybe it can be considered for addition if time and resources allow for it. It is a feature simple to describe, but I guess that the implementation could be somewhat complex.

Thanks anyway for this package, that is already great in the current state :)

I was working on a command line version of that here: https://github.com/voxpelli/compare-eslint-configs

Still planning to update it to ESLint 9 and flat configs: voxpelli/compare-eslint-configs#46

Was also building something out like this but the UI and whole experience in the Inspector is just too good to pass up. Props all around to the maintainers!

I am trying to compare a new custom eslint config to our old one that uses airbnb-base and I just want to be able to easily tell where they differ, and how, depending on the type of files matched.
