Tim Henigan bf73fc212a difftool: print list of valid tools with '--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.

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
