[PATCH v3 3/4] mergetool: honor diff.orderFile

Teach mergetool to get the list of files to edit via `diff` so that we gain support for diff.orderFile.

Changes since v2:

The tests no longer rely on "grep -A" and instead use "git grep" for portability. The mergetool output in the test is redirected to a file so that we can catch its exit code.
