Visual differentiation between pkgver and pkgrel changes

Today I had a huge update of ~160 different packages which I believe is related to update of some common dependency. That led to majority of packages only have `pkgrel` update and you must carefully skim through huge package list to find these couple packages that had upstream changes. This is very unpleasant experience and consumes quite a lot of time to simply inspect what's being updated. I suggest to add (potentially optional) feature that colors lines in package list that correspond to packages that only have `pkgrel` updated in different color. Or lines for packages that have `pkgver` updated. Either will be fine but in my opinion, reasonable solution would be to use light gray for packages with `pkgrel` changes because those are likely require less attention.
