feat: add diff to specification

[kgryte]

This PR

• resolves RFC: add diff for computing the n-th forward difference #784 by adding diff to the specification.
• restricts portable behavior for prepend and append to arrays. While NumPy and others support scalars (a common use case), PyTorch does not support scalars.
• supports all numeric dtypes (real and complex floats, signed and unsigned integers).
• allows some wiggle room for array libraries supporting "exotic" dtypes, such as datetimes, by stating that the output array "should" have the same data type as the input array x. E.g., NumPy supports datetimes and returns timedeltas. For numeric dtypes, the output array should always have the same dtype.
• restricts prepend and append to the same data type as the input array. If we more generally allow any combination of dtypes among x, prepend, and append, we'd need to consider type promotion semantics. We don't have much, if any, precedent in the specification for array kwargs causing an input array to upcast, and I don't think we should establish precedent here.
• set the defaults for prepend and append to None. This is in contrast to NumPy which doesn't set a default value.

As this PR has previously been discussed during workgroup meetings, does not have any open questions, and has not received any objections, I'll go ahead and merge.
