2ee7f7d76e cli(metadata): add diff command and dry-run flag (#3157)
### Description
Adds a `metadata diff` command to show comparisons between two different sets of Hasura metadata.
```
# Show changes between server metadata and the exported metadata file:
hasura metadata diff

# Show changes between server metadata and that in local_metadata.yaml:
hasura metadata diff local_metadata.yaml

# Show changes between metadata from metadata.yaml and metadata_old.yaml:
hasura metadata diff metadata.yaml metadata_old.yaml
```

Also adds a `--dry-run` flag to `metadata apply` command which will print the diff and exit rather than actually applying the metadata.

### Affected components 
- CLI
- Docs

### Related Issues
Close #3126, Close #3127

### Solution and Design
- Added `metadata_diff.go` and `metadata_diff_test.go`


### Steps to test and verify
```
hasura metadata export
# Make changes to migrations/metadata.yaml
hasura metadata diff
```

### Limitations, known bugs & workarounds
This is just a general-purpose diff. 

A more contextual diff with the understanding of metadata can be added once #3072  is merged.
