Preformatted ordered values to simplify comparison

[seregamorph]

Default visual representation of MergedContextConfiguration fields is not pretty friendly for visual comparison (which is assumed by the tool itself). This change suggests simple prototype how this can be implemented by using:

• ordering for elements that are compared as Set collection
• pretty formatting of collections
• using <pre> tag in the HTML

Sample new representation (pay attention to contextCustomizers field value):

Now this can be easily compared in text editor:

Note that using <pre> also has disadvantages for long toString representations

thanks a lot for the PR @seregamorph 😌 Do you plan to add more code to the PR (I can see it's a draft) - happy to merge it!

My current plan is to also add a visual comparison feature in report with some JS help where one can compare context X with Y.

[seregamorph]

Yep, I just wanted to align with you, if this is a right direction to move. Will try to finish this soon then.

[rieckpil]

Yes, please go ahead 👍

[seregamorph]

I will get back to this soon (sorry, had to switch focus on another activities)

[rieckpil]

(there's no rush)

[seregamorph]

Please take a look. Please pay attention there is a toString conversion which may look verbose, but actually may be pretty helpful for the sake of visual comparison:

BTW properties are not listed, only their count - this also may be confusing for UI user while comparing two context configurations
