Link `latest-tag-button`’s default branch comparison (#2771) to its changelog #2861

#2771 added this piece of information

But I think it could be extracted to be its own button linked to its "changelog" view: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/compare/20.3.4...master

However it doesn't look as neat or clear anymore.

Maybe with the diff icon? It's what we use in changelog-link as well

I love the way it is now.

I love the one with the diff icon. It is more clear and (if implemented) provides a useful shortcut.

Currently, if we want to compare the latest release against master branch, we need to:

More => Compare => Choose base ref => Tags => Select the latest tag (which may not be the first one due to sorting)
Latest tag button => More => Compare => Switch base (one step less than above one, but still inconvenient)

I'm surprised that the "Switch base" step is required. Maybe it should be swapped

Because you are always comparing the current ref with the master ref (by default), but the master is newer so it will show nothing.

This keeps the small number where it is and just adds a clear "compare" icon next to the tag ✌️ <img width="149" alt="" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1402241/76743440-e9859580-6772-11ea-8083-e14c34b88a93.png">
