Bug#866120: diffoscope: please add an xml comparator

Hey Chris,

Just found out what was going wrong.

XMLFile returns an array with the Difference object, while the
previous TextFile class doesn't. So test_apk was looking for a
unified_diff in the wrong place.

This is easily fixed, but I've got a new question. Since XMLFile
now returns an array, the presenter displays the difference for
AndroidManifest file with two column pipes instead of one.
(https://paste.debian.net/977967/)

Should this be fixed or its the expected behavior?

Thanks!
