View Merged/Configured Differences

The View Merged/Configured Differences option opens a dialog to display the
Merged and Configured zone sets in split panes. The items in the Merged but not
the Configured are shown in red (not persistent after switch reset). The items in the
Configured but not the Merged show up as green (are persistent after switch reset).
The bottom pane is an English description of the differences in summary.
