difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'th/mergetools-tool-help
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.
Teach the command to read the list of valid tools from the 'mergetools'
directory and print them for the user when the '--tool-help' option is
given.
