Provide a way to compare session info from two systems

[gaborcsardi]

• copy one session info output on the clipboard, and compare that to the current system
• just compare two outputs?

[gaborcsardi]

It would be much easier to compare the actual objects.... especially with the potentially rich formatting....

[gaborcsardi]

Maybe we could use a visual fingerprint.

Testing how a copy-paste (w/o reprex) looks like in GH HTML.
