[Bug 1197727] Re: "Replace your changes in ... configuration file" prompt is unattractive

Sebastian, I've adjusted the design based on your comments:
- the question is more explicit because it's in the primary text
- the options use radio buttons rather than just clickable text fields
- the alert is now resizable.

It's true that "Continue" looks weird on its own, but that's an
inevitable side-effect of dpkg operations not being cancellable. If that
was fixed, this dialog could get a Cancel button.

Title:
  "Replace your changes in ... configuration file" prompt is
  unattractive

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:

  This prompt needs redesign. In particular:
  a. it's closable and maximizable and should be neither
  b. the title is "update-manager"
  c. the question-mark icon is uninformative
  d. the filename is in the primary text, with Ascii quotes, though it may be very long
  e. a programmer-style diff is likely incomprehensible to non-programmers
  f. the recommendation is to replace the file, but the default is "Keep".
