doc: convert git-mergetool manpage to new synopsis style

- Switch the synopsis to a synopsis block which will automatically
  format placeholders in italics and keywords in monospace
- Use _<placeholder>_ instead of <placeholder> in the description
- Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option
descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to
these spans.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Use `git mergetool` to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
merge conflicts. It is typically run after 'git merge'.
merge conflicts. It is typically run after `git merge`.
If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
be run to resolve differences in each file (skipping those without
conflicts). Specifying a directory will include all unresolved files in
that path. If no <file> names are specified, 'git mergetool' will run
that path. If no _<file>_ names are specified, `git mergetool` will run
the merge tool program on every file with merge conflicts.
OPTIONS
-------
-t <tool>::
--tool=<tool>::
Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
Valid values include emerge, gvimdiff, kdiff3,
meld, vimdiff, and tortoisemerge. Run `git mergetool --tool-help`
for the list of valid <tool> settings.
`-t <tool>`::
`--tool=<tool>`::
Use the merge resolution program specified by _<tool>_.
Valid values include `emerge`, `gvimdiff`, `kdiff3`,
`meld`, `vimdiff`, and `tortoisemerge`. Run `git mergetool --tool-help`
for the list of valid _<tool>_ settings.
+
If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git mergetool'
If a merge resolution program is not specified, `git mergetool`
will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`. If the
configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, 'git mergetool'
configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, `git mergetool`
will pick a suitable default.
+
You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
configuration variable `mergetool.<tool>.path`. For example, you
can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
`mergetool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, 'git mergetool' assumes the
tool is available in PATH.
`mergetool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, `git mergetool` assumes the
tool is available in `$PATH`.
+
Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
'git mergetool' can be customized to run an alternative program
`git mergetool` can be customized to run an alternative program
by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
variable `mergetool.<tool>.cmd`.

When 'git mergetool' is invoked with this tool (either through the
When `git mergetool` is invoked with this tool (either through the
`-t` or `--tool` option or the `merge.tool` configuration
variable), the configured command line will be invoked with `$BASE`
variable), the configured command line will be invoked with `BASE`
set to the name of a temporary file containing the common base for
the merge, if available; `$LOCAL` set to the name of a temporary
the merge, if available; `LOCAL` set to the name of a temporary
file containing the contents of the file on the current branch;
`$REMOTE` set to the name of a temporary file containing the
contents of the file to be merged, and `$MERGED` set to the name
`REMOTE` set to the name of a temporary file containing the
contents of the file to be merged, and `MERGED` set to the name
of the file to which the merge tool should write the result of the
merge resolution.
+
If the custom merge tool correctly indicates the success of a
merge resolution with its exit code, then the configuration
variable `mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode` can be set to `true`.
Otherwise, 'git mergetool' will prompt the user to indicate the
Otherwise, `git mergetool` will prompt the user to indicate the
success of the resolution after the custom tool has exited.
--tool-help::
`--tool-help`::
Print a list of merge tools that may be used with `--tool`.
-y::
--no-prompt::
`-y`::
`--no-prompt`::
Don't prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution
program.
This is the default if the merge resolution program is
explicitly specified with the `--tool` option or with the
`merge.tool` configuration variable.
--prompt::
`--prompt`::
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program
to give the user a chance to skip the path.
-g::
--gui::
When 'git-mergetool' is invoked with the `-g` or `--gui` option,
`-g`::
`--gui`::
When `git-mergetool` is invoked with the `-g` or `--gui` option,
the default merge tool will be read from the configured
`merge.guitool` variable instead of `merge.tool`. If
`merge.guitool` is not set, we will fallback to the tool
configured under `merge.tool`. This may be autoselected using
the configuration variable `mergetool.guiDefault`.
--no-gui::
`--no-gui`::
This overrides a previous `-g` or `--gui` setting or
`mergetool.guiDefault` configuration and reads the default merge
tool from the configured `merge.tool` variable.
-O<orderfile>::
`-O<orderfile>`::
Process files in the order specified in the
<orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
_<orderfile>_, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
This overrides the `diff.orderFile` configuration variable
(see linkgit:git-config[1]). To cancel `diff.orderFile`,
use `-O/dev/null`.
