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.

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.

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.
