Add view of changed files to PR creation

This view would be updated automatically according to the target branch.

This would be huge for my team! The main reason I'm having trouble selling GitHub internally at my org is that you have to go online to preview what's in a PR. A view like this of files impacted by a PR would close a perceived/debatable (but to me critical!) feature gap with TFS/VSTS.
