Stable: .void Block Diffs, Multi-Repo Source Control & Shell Picker

Stable release rolling up v2.4.0-beta.1 and beta.2 plus newer changes: .void diffs and merge conflicts as real Voiden blocks, Source Control across multiple repos, a terminal shell picker, plugin-provided variables, per-section Jump and Retry in the response panel, Electron 44, and fixes across requests, gRPC, Git and plugins.
