asimview: add sha comparison functionality

Added comprehensive SHA comparison capability to the ASIM viewer tool, enabling
side-by-side comparison of test results between different Git commits.

Major additions:
- New `-sha-compare` flag to enable SHA comparison mode
- `sha_compare.go`: Core logic for managing Git operations, test generation, and file comparison
- `sha_compare.html`: Interactive web interface for SHA comparison with Plotly charts
- File-by-file comparison with visual indicators for identical, different, or SHA-specific files

The tool now supports two modes:
1. Regular file viewer (existing functionality)
2. SHA comparison mode (new) - allows users to select two commits, automatically
   generates test data for both, and provides side-by-side chart comparison

Updated BUILD.bazel and .gitignore to support the new comparison workflow and temporary file storage.

+### SHA Comparison Mode
+
+```bash
+# Enable SHA comparison mode
+go run . -sha-compare
+
+# With custom port
+go run . -sha-compare -port 8081
+```
+
+Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser. This mode allows you to:
+
+1. **Generate test data for different Git SHAs**: Enter two commit SHAs and click "Generate Comparison" to run ASIM tests for both commits
+2. **Compare results side-by-side**: Select test files to see JSON data plotted side-by-side for visual comparison
+3. **Automatic Git workflow**: The tool handles switching between SHAs, running tests, and storing results automatically
+
+**Note**: SHA comparison mode requires a clean Git working directory and will temporarily switch between commits to generate test data.
