Fetches the registry tarballs and compare files between a spec a and spec b.
npm spec types are usually described in @ form but multiple other types are also supported, for more info on valid specs take a look at npm-package-arg.

Options:

- color : Should add ANSI colors to string output?
Defaults to false.
- tagVersionPrefix : What prefix should be used to define version numbers.
Defaults to v
- diffUnified : How many lines of code to print before/after each diff.
Defaults to 3.
- diffFiles >: If set only prints patches for the files listed in this array (also accepts globs).
Defaults to undefined.
- diffIgnoreAllSpace : Whether or not should ignore changes in whitespace (very useful to avoid indentation changes extra diff lines).
Defaults to false.
- diffNameOnly : Prints only file names and no patch diffs.
Defaults to false.
- diffNoPrefix : If true then skips printing any prefixes in filenames.
Defaults to false.
- diffSrcPrefix : Prefix to be used in the filenames from a.
Defaults to a/.
- diffDstPrefix : Prefix to be used in the filenames from b.
Defaults to b/.
- diffText : Should treat all files as text and try to print diff for binary files.
Defaults to false.
- ...cache, registry, where and other common options accepted by pacote

Returns a Promise that fulfills with a String containing the resulting patch diffs.

Throws an error if either a or b` are missing or if trying to diff more than two specs.
