Make geo/globe coordinate diff more readable

There are two problems:

  1. The values are very "raw" (I know this is intended at the moment). For example the precision should be shown in a more readable format like it is in the selection drop-down. The globe should be resolved somehow, at least for the "Earth" default.
  2. The individual lines in such a diff are not colored. This may need an other bug report. It's not limited to coordinates. Same for other values that are shown as little tables, e.g. quantities.

@Lydia_Pintscher which priority does this ticket have and how likely is it that this is build after a design is provided?

A series of super-trivial improvements that might not even need any design is:

  1. Display both "Latitude 14.113116805556°" and "Longitude 122.95454861111°" with a degree sign.
  2. Convert known precisions to values similar to the ones shown in the dropdown. Namely:
    • 1 arcminute
    • 1 arcsecond
    • 1/10 arcsecond
    • 1/100 arcsecond
    • 1/1000 arcsecond
    • 1/10000 arcsecond
  3. Color the individual lines in coordinate and quantity diffs. As noted above this might need a new ticket.

normal/medium priority
I think we can use this as a good beginner/hackathon task if we have a design plus what Thiemo suggested.

For reference, here a screen shot of the example:
