Investigate switch to difflib

[dae]

1e0be26 migrated from the Python difflib to the dissimilar crate so we can use the code across all platforms, but it unfortunately does not seem to perform as well for some languages/inputs. There appears to be a Rust port of difflib available, so it might be worth looking into whether we can use that instead, if it gives better output.

@RumovZ feel free to take this if it interests you

We'll want to look into this as a matter of priority, as it appears that dissimilar will panic with certain non-Latin text input, eg

        let ctx = DiffContext::new("Сущность должна быть ответственна только за одно дело", "Single responsibility Сущность выполняет только одну задачу. Повод для изменения сущности только один.");

[RumovZ]

To be clear, that means the investigation part is over and we want to switch without question now?

If the library isn’t suitable, there’s still the option of finding another one, or trying to fix the panic in the one we currently use as a last resort
