Description

Currently contramap only exists for Differs for primitive types. We should add contramap too all Differ types

For good reporting purposes, we should to capture both the new type and old type so when there's diff error it's clear to the user what's the actual differ being used.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing contramap implementation for primitive Differs and the related tests, then enumerate the other Differ types that need the same capability. Done means contramap is available across all Differ types and diff errors clearly report both the new and old types.
