 readChangesFile

read the changes file, create a list of header-lines (changeChunks)
and a list of chunk-positions (changePositions).
Starting with 2.10.3, the entries are multi-col entries;
the cols are:
1 delta (only if comparing)
'+' -> new method (w.r.t. current state)
'-' -> removed method (w.r.t. current state)
'?' -> class does not exist currently
'=' -> change is the same as current methods source
'~' -> change is almost the same as current methods source
2 class/selector
3 type of change
doit
method
category change
4 timestamp

since comparing slows down startup time, it is now disabled by
default and can be enabled via a toggle.
