Description

### What would you like to happen?

Migration: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HOP-2673
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HOP-3164

In visual diff, have a "blink mode" to swap between representations to compare versions without having to switch tabs.

When performing a diff between two objects, it would be useful to have a parameter to choose if changes in step positions are to be included or not. Most of the time changes in step positions are not relevant.

Research direction

Start with the Hop GUI visual-diff entry point and read migration tickets HOP-2673 and HOP-3164 for context. Define how blink mode swaps the two representations and how users choose whether step-position changes count; the work is done when both options operate during a visual diff without switching tabs.
