Add option to open all differing files when melding directories

Sometimes I will use meld to diff directories and I am going to want to open all files. Right now I do this by:

  1. meld dir1 dir2
  2. Down arrow + Enter. View differences
  3. Ctrl + W to close tab.
  4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until I hit all the files.

Easier way to do this would be something like:

meld dir1 dir2 --open-all-file-diffs

which would open the directory diff page but would also open all of the file diffs that I could then just go through without having to open each one.

This is a problem I could tackle if the maintainers agree with the idea.
