Implemented Rollback/revert to previous edit version

[Alpha1]

We can view and compare edits / versions in article history.

It would be useful if we could rollback to a previous version to deal with vandalism or (link) spamming.
How this could work is to display a REVERT link next to the VIEW link on the overview of edit history.
When that is clicked show a modal 'Do you really want to revert to this edit?'
If confirmed then revert the article to the selected edit.

You CAN and its Core XenForo Edit History Handler default functionality.

When you click on VIEW, it launches that version in an overlay so that you can SEE the message text for that version. Included on that form in the lower right hand is an unchecked checkbox titled "Revert".



When you check that check box, it enables a [Revert] button. When you click on the [Revert] button, it rolls back the MESSAGE field to that specific version.

How this could work is to display a REVERT link next to the VIEW link on the overview of edit history.
When that is clicked show a modal 'Do you really want to revert to this edit?'
If confirmed then revert the article to the selected edit.

You will need to make this suggestion at XenForo.com as I use the Core XenForo Edit History Handler, which uses shared templates for that system and would be applicable to any content type that implements an Edit History Handler.
