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.

As of 83bbf9b92e (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style
tool variants, 2020-07-29), we already list `bc` and `bc3` as aliases
for that mergetool/difftool.
However, the current Beyond Compare version is _4_, therefore the `bc4`
alias is missing from that list.
Most notably, this is the root cause of the breakage reported in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2893 where a
well-configured `bc4` difftool stopped working as of v2.29.0:
`setup_tool` would notice that after stripping off the trailing digit,
it finds a match in `mergetools/` (the `bc` file), source it, and then
the alias would not match the list offered by the `list_tool_variants`
function, and simply exit without doing anything, but pretending
success.

The merge tools vimdiff2, vimdiff3, gvimdiff2, gvimdiff3 and bc3 are all
variants of the main tools vimdiff and bc. They are implemented in the
main and a one-liner script that just sources it exist for each.
Allow variants ending in [0-9] to be correctly wired without the need
for such one-liners, so instead of 5 scripts, only 1 (gvimdiff) is
needed.

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.

Beyond Compare version 4 works the same way as version 3, so rename
the existing "bc3" adaptor to just "bc", while keeping "bc3" as a
backward compatible wrapper.
