Description

Similar to the default Nomad-UI, add a change/diff view of job versions. Right now in hashi-ui, one can select a previous version from the drop-down, but it is hard to detect what exactly has changed from the previous config. The default Nomad-UI shows a *.nomad config file diff, making it very easy to spot what was changed (like port config, image version, task name, etc...)

Research direction
Examine the existing job version dropdown in hashi ui (likely in the job detail page). Review how Nomad UI implements its diff view for reference. Use a JavaScript diff library (e.g., jsdiff) to compute and display differences between job version configurations. Fetch version data from the Nomad API and render the diff in the UI. Check if any existing components handle version selection and consider where to add the diff view.
