mergetools: add description to all diff/merge tools

The output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help`
only showed the `alias` of each available merge/diff tool.

It is not always obvious what tool these `aliases` end up using (ex:
`opendiff` runs `FileMerge` and `bc` runs `Beyond Compare`).

This commit adds a short description to each of them to help the user
identify the `alias` they want.
