Argument Clinic: add --dry-run and --diff options #155207
Description
Feature or enhancement
Argument Clinic can only rewrite files in place. To see what a change to a clinic block or to the generator itself produces, you have to let it modify the working tree and then look at git diff.
I propose two options, one of the ideas listed in #108643:
--dry-run-- parse everything as usual, but write nothing and list the files which would be changed.--diff-- the same, but write a unified diff of the changes to the standard output, so that it can be reviewed or applied withpatch -p0.
Both work with --make, so --dry-run --make --srcdir . tells whether any generated file is stale.
