Compute JSON patches by comparing two JSON values.

## Usage

    patch =
        Json.Diff.diff oldDocument newDocument
        
Creating a patch has to be done on the `Value` type, due to the type system (records can't be accessed by field name in 
Elm).

However, if you have an encoder for your Elm type, you can create a patch by encoding the data first.
