[PATCH 1/2] vimdiff: fix single tab mode, single window mode and colors

[Fernando Ramos <greenfoo@xxxxxx>]

vimdiff3 was introduced in 7c147b77d3 (mergetools: add vimdiff3 mode,
2014-04-20) and then partially broken in 0041797449 (vimdiff: new
implementation with layout support, 2022-03-30) in two ways:

    - It does not show colors unless the user has "set hidden" in his
      .vimrc file

    - It prompts the user to "Press ENTER" every time it runs.

This patch fixes both issues and, in adition:

  - Unifies the previously "special" case where LAYOUT contained one single tab
    with one single window.

  - Fixes colors in tabs with just one window.
