difftool: fallback on merge.guitool
In git-difftool.txt, it says 'git difftool' falls back to 'git mergetool' config variables when the difftool equivalents have not been defined. However, when `diff.guitool` is missing, it doesn't fallback to anything. Make git-difftool fallback to `merge.guitool` when `diff.guitool` is missing.
