This changeset refines IGV's node difference analysis to ignore changes in node properties that are derived by IGV, as opposed to generated by HotSpot. Derived properties include the label and color of each node. Ignoring changes in these properties prevents IGV from wrongly marking equal nodes as "changed" (colored in yellow) when showing the difference between two graphs:

**Testing:** tier1 and manual testing on a few graphs.
