specify diff-range from compare_branch, then you can compare diff between tags or commit points

Perhaps the --diff-range-notation and --compare-branchoptions can be removed and replaced with a new --diff-range option? Default value origin/main...HEAD.
@ptzz in theory that could work.
In practice id rather avoid breaking people's workflows. So we would probably want to deprecate the original two options
Looking for whether I need to specify a branch or whether I can just specify a commit, I did find this MR and it has helped me understand that, yes, I can just run diff-cover --compare-branch HEAD~1 to understand where I messed up.
Background: I am trying to figure out which of my changes in the last commit leads to a test failure. So I need to know which lines of those changed are even executed by the failing integration test.
(and for that purpose it would be nice if I could nicely get the covered lines out of diff-cover instead of the uncovered lines, but it is already very handy to compare to the previous version without having to create a branch on it.)
