This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the

in the configuation variable merge.<toolname>path.
Why not merge.<toolname>.path?
This would it make easy to introduce new variables of the form
merge.<toolname>.<var> later if needed. I also think it is more
consistent with names of existing configuration variables.
(think branch.<name>.<var> or remote.<name>.<var>)
Looks more beautiful on the command line but a bit more complex
in the config file. But I like the idea.
Maybe mergetool.<tool>.path is even a better choice? It clearly
indicate the relationship with mergetool. We could explain:
'The variable merge.tool = <tool> refers to a tool that can
be further specified in mergetool.<tool>.path.'
