The output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help`
only showed the `alias` of each available merge/diff tool.
It is not always obvious what tool these `aliases` end up using (ex:
`opendiff` runs `FileMerge` and `bc` runs `Beyond Compare`).
This commit adds a short description to each of them to help the user
identify the `alias` they want.

The native kdiff3 mergetool is not found by git mergetool on
Windows. The message "The merge tool kdiff3 is not available as
'kdiff3'" is displayed.
Just like we translate the name of the binary and look for it on the
search path for WinMerge, do the same for kdiff3 to find it.

Built-in merge tools contain a hard-coded assumption about
whether or not a tool's exit code can be trusted to determine
the success or failure of a merge. Tools whose exit codes are
not trusted contain calls to check_unchanged() in their
merge_cmd() functions.
A problem with this is that the trustExitCode configuration is
not honored for built-in tools.
Teach built-in tools to honor the trustExitCode configuration.
Extend run_merge_cmd() so that it is responsible for calling
check_unchanged() when a tool's exit code cannot be trusted.
Remove check_unchanged() calls from scriptlets since they are no
longer responsible for calling it.
When no configuration is present, exit_code_trustable() is
checked to see whether the exit code should be trusted.
The default implementation returns false.
Tools whose exit codes can be trusted override
exit_code_trustable() to true.

No callers rely on $status so there's don't need to set
it during merge_cmd() for diffmerge, emerge, and kdiff3.

The `kdiff3 --auto` help message is, "No GUI if all conflicts are auto-
solvable." This flag was carried over from the original mergetool
commands. diff_cmd() is for two-way comparisons only so remove the
superfluous flag.

Individual merge tools are now defined in a mergetools/$tool
file which is sourced at runtime.
The individual files are installed into $(git --exec-path)/mergetools/.
New tools can be added by creating a new file instead of editing the
git-mergetool--lib.sh scriptlet.
