Add option to disable whitespace diff via URL parameter

See original GitHub issue

According to Alex’ tweet (https://twitter.com/SlexAxton/status/725193003220893696) this is possible by adding ?w=1 to the URL:

ProTip: Add a w=1 query param to github diffs to ignore whitespace. Usually way easier to read.

Possible as option for the extension?

Leaving it as a temporary option is not sufficient in my opinion. With team wide adoption of estlint and prettier, whitespace is effectively never a concern in PRs for me. I hate having to load every single diff twice just to hide white space changes.
