Diffs name their chain; history shows the ruleset's diff

The ruleset's diff names the chain each hunk is in on its @@ line, as
git names the function. A history entry shows what it did to the
ruleset (web page, hc history diff, GET /history/{id}/diff), rebuilt
from the current configuration by stepping back through the later
entries. A changed setting is listed by its own fields
(builtins.drop_invalid) instead of the whole object.
