User story: As an editor, I want my choice of visual or wikitext diff to be automatically remembered, so that next time I make an edit I get the diff type I prefer.
By doing this automatically, we can avoid adding yet another tick box in user preferences, but also show users the kind of diff they prefer.
There should be a separate storage of this preference for the visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor.

Of course if we persist it in the database it is a user preference :)
Sorry for my imprecise wording. I meant "another tick box in the preferences page". :-)
