[PATCH 1/2] mergetool--lib: don't call "exit" in setup_tool

From

Message-ID

From: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>

This will make it easier to use setup_tool in places where we expect that the selected tool will not support the current mode.

We need to introduce a new return code for setup_tool to differentiate between the case of "the selected tool is invalid" and "the selected tool is not a built-in" since we must call setup_tool when a custom 'merge.<tool>.path' is configured for a built-in tool but avoid failing when the configured tool is not a built-in.
