kubectl diff does not work with applysets

[uhthomas]

What happened:

❯ KUBECTL_APPLYSET=true kubectl diff --applyset=applyset/automata -f bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/k8s/unwind/list.json --prune
error: unknown flag: --applyset
See 'kubectl diff -h' for help and example

What you expected to happen:

kubectl should show a diff of what changes would be made.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

See above.

Anything else we need to know?:

ApplySets were introduced recently, I would have expected them to work with diff also.

Environment:

• Kubernetes client and server versions (use kubectl version): v.127.2
• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: N/A
• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release): N/A

@mpuckett159 @uhthomas I can look into this. Looking to get familiar with the code base, and could start with this. /assign

Hi there @mpuckett159, is this issue still up for grabs? If so, I'd happily look into it.
