Matthew Woehlke 0d36692275 Diagnostics: Fix interaction with cached state
The prior mechanism for reconciling cached diagnostic state with updates
from presets / command-line arguments based on whether the latter
modified diagnostics from their default state did not work. This is
because alterations that would not change the state relative to the
default were not recorded, even if they would alter the state relative
to the prior (cached) state.

The best fix for this is to apply alterations on top of the cached
state, rather than trying to determine whether an alteration is
important. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to defer
alterations until after we can load the cache, which somewhat defeats
one of the original goals of reducing the number of mechanisms by which
alterations are recorded.

Modify how we handle diagnostic alterations to map them through a helper
function, which either defers them (in Project mode) or acts as a
pass-through (applying the changes immediately, in all other modes).
While this does, as noted, introduce another means of storing
diagnostics, this new storage effectively consists of a list of deferred
function calls, rather than a unique format for recording changes, which
is what we had prior to the Great Refactor.
