Allow users to override the default commands provided by the
mergetools/* scriptlets.
Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be
able to override the built-in tool names. The documentation
does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden,
so it's easy to assume that it should work.
Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the
same way as user-configured tools. Add tests to guarantee this
behavior.
A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from
having future versions of git trump their custom configuration
with a new built-in tool.

Rolls the two-directory-diff logic from diffall script (in contrib/) into
"git difftool" framework.
By Tim Henigan
* th/difftool-diffall:
difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffs
difftool: eliminate setup_environment function
difftool: stop appending '.exe' to git
difftool: remove explicit change of PATH
difftool: exit(0) when usage is printed
difftool: add '--no-gui' option
difftool: parse options using Getopt::Long
Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,
2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple
script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory. Updating the
difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can
easily go out of sync.
This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which:
- Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*'
- Determines which of them are actually installed
- Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool)
- Prints the resulting list for the user

When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify
more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for
each file that changed.
The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary
location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the
diff tool.

This commit teaches difftool to handle the '--no-gui' option. This option
negates the existing '--gui' option. The last setting given on the command
line wins.
This allows a user to configure "[alias] mdt = difftool --gui", but still
have the ability to override the setting without error:
$ git mdt --no-gui

The construct "var=$(( something ..." is interpreted by some shells as
arithmetic expansion, even when it clearly is not, e.g.
var=$((foo; bar) | baz)
Avoid the issue by giving an extra SP to help the parser, i.e.
var=$( (foo; bar) | baz )
Noticed by Michael J Gruber.

This is useful if you forgot to restrict the diff to the paths you want
to see, or selecting precisely the ones you want is too much typing.

SKIP messages are now part of the TAP plan. A TAP harness now knows
why a particular test was skipped and can report that information. The
non-TAP harness built into Git's test-lib did nothing special with
these messages, and is unaffected by these changes.

git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when
tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches
git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by
allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

An undocumented mis-feature in git-difftool is that it allows you
to specify a default difftool by setting GIT_MERGE_TOOL.
This behavior was never documented and was included as an
oversight back when git-difftool was maintained outside of git.
git-mergetool never honored GIT_MERGE_TOOL so neither should
git-difftool.

Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different
tool when run from a Git GUI.
This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when
the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to
configure their preferred command-line diff tool in
'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

If a difftool test has an error then running the git test suite
may end up invoking a GUI diff tool. We now guard against this
by setting a difftool.bogus-tool.cmd variable.
The tests already used --tool=bogus-tool in various places so
this is simply ensuring that nothing ever falls back and
finds a real diff tool.
