Description

Generify builder classes:

• org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.Diffable<T>
• org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.DiffBuilder<T>
• org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.DiffResult<T>

After the introduction of LANG-1485, new APIs typed to `Object` were added. This feels like wrong and can be resolved with generics.
