Description
The PR sidebar should show which files in the PR have updates that need to be pulled. This could use the same indicators that are shown in the file explorer and editor tabs to show incoming changes.
This would make it more obvious to reviewers that there are new changes so they don't waste time reviewing an outdated PR.

Research direction
Start by locating the PR sidebar and the existing indicators used in the file explorer and editor tabs. Trace how incoming file updates are represented, then make the sidebar show equivalent indicators for affected PR files; done means reviewers can identify files needing updates before reviewing.
