aider: Added diff_files.py script that reads two file names from the command line, reads the contents of the files, and then uses the difflib module to print their differences.

# Context:
USER: read 2 files named on the cmd line, use difflib to print their differences
ASSISTANT: To achieve this, we'll create a new Python script that reads two file names from the command line, reads the contents of the files, and then uses the `difflib` module to print their differences.

1. Create a new Python script called `diff_files.py` in the `aider` directory.
2. Import the necessary modules: `sys` and `difflib`.
3. Read the file names from the command line arguments.
4. Read the contents of the files.
5. Use `difflib.unified_diff()` to generate the differences.
6. Print the differences.

Here's the code for the new `diff_files.py` script:

```python
aider/diff_files
^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: put it in `aider/diffs.py`
