feat(compare): add German localization and revamp compare UI

Pass the application language into compare dialogs and add German
translations so titles, buttons and helper text render appropriately.
Refactor dialog markup to introduce a compact header with a GitCompare
icon, show changed-file counts, and surface contextual help and warnings.
Adjust and extend CSS for spacing, layout and responsive behavior.

- Pass app language into compare components and derive isGerman flag
- Replace icons and restructure headers; add counts, help and warnings
- Update styles for sizing, spacing, responsive rules and new classes
