--- Junio, please can you squash this into f9924e5 on jk/mergetool, providing that David is OK with that?

The original change breaks custom mergetool by making changing the logic around default functions so that they are now only defined when the tool file exists in $MERGE_TOOLS_DIR but we need the default implementations when a custom tool is in use, which by definition means that the file doesn't exist in $MERGE_TOOLS_DIR.
