Added files in log dialog

When browsing files affected by some revision from log dialog, default
action for added files is 'Open', which has following problems:
1) It may be ineffective for some kind of files. For example, default
application associated with .sql on my work PC is Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio, which is rather cumbersome if one just wants to
view the file.
2) It may be dangerous for some kind of files. For example, default
action for .js and .vbs files on most Windows installations is to run
them. Depending on actual file content, this may lead to all kinds of
trouble.
3) It is inconsistent with commit dialog, where default action for
added files is to show 'diff with empty file'
4) It does not respect custom diff viewer, if such a viewer is defined
for selected file's type.

Therefore, please consider changing default action for added files to
"Show changes" -- same as for modified files.
