If diff has no panel differences, show the block diagram on top

Status: New

When we use diff to compare old and new VIs, currently both the FP and BD open and the FP is on top. But frequently the FP hasn't changed at all -- the API can stay the same while making substantive changes internally. So in cases where there is no FP diff, please put the diagram window in front. That would make reviews of large quantity of small changes (like replacing a commonly used subVI with a new subVI) easier to quickly review.

Better idea: just go ahead and double click on the first item in the diff! Then the diag or panel would just appear with the first item already circled. It would save a bunch of double clicks! For a lot of small changes (like rename of a subVI), that'll be the only change in the VI, so it would make reviews go a lot faster.
