Description

The only actual change to the content of the context is that we can no
longer end up with non-bool types for the is_draft_diff and
is_draft_interdiff fields.

Testing Done

Ran unit tests.

Add typing structures for the diff viewer context. The context that's assembled and used to render the diff viewer page (both the HTML-based UI and the diff context API endpoint) has grown organically since the very earliest days of Review Board, and is a pretty big hairy mess. In order to bring at least a little bit of sanity to it, this change adds typing structures so that type checkers can verify that we're always assigning things correctly. The only actual change to the content of the context is that we can no longer end up with non-`bool` types for the `is_draft_diff` and `is_draft_interdiff` fields. Testing Done: - Ran unit tests.	eaf2f91109549ee9bfe835fbac9bc42b86f397aa

Overall looks good, but I have two broad thoughts:

Discussion point: I wonder if we should consider putting at least some of these serialized types into a module that can own them. This wouldn't make sense everywhere, but might help keep some things organized? It'd be a fine line, so I don't really have anything more to offer on this.
I think we probably should document these serialized types, if they're intended to be consumed outside of the module. I know we talked about this in the context of TypeScript, consuming APIs, but when we're providing them in a situation where changes may impact a caller's use, we should document them so there's a clear path to versioning and deprecating.

Hmm. I'll have to think about this. For now I think keeping those definitions close to the views that use them is best.
Adding docs isn't too much of a burden, though the amount that we "use" these is pretty limited outside of the code that's changed in here, plus the templates that render the pages.
