Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.13.0
Git version: Latest on Windows (not relevant for this suggestion)
Operating system: Docker on CentOS 7; using Google Chrome on Windows to login to it
Database: MySQL
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io: Yes (see below)

Description

When we click to view the History of a file in the repo, e.g.

https://try.gitea.io/dzikismigol/barenote-cli/commits/branch/master/README.md

All the links for each commit bring us to the WHOLE commit, showing ALL files modified on that commit.
E.g.:
6ade8d9ba6

It would be nice to have an extra link to see ONLY the file, how it was at the time of that commit.

Sometimes, a commit can have LOADS of changed files, but I'm only interested in the one I'm looking at. (see screenshots)

At the moment, on that second link above, I have to click "Browse Source" button and then find the file again.
What I'm looking for is a direct link to this, e.g.:

6ade8d9ba6/README.md
