Keep the main pane on the current version during comparison.

When the caller supplies previewVersion, the main pane can pass its ID to the custom renderer during comparison. The renderer contract says the main pane must leave fileVersionId empty in this state.

Review comment at @src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js at line 1911:
Update the `fileVersionId` prop in `ContentPreview` so the main pane passes no
version ID while comparing, but the compared preview and normal preview retain
their existing version ID behavior.
