[PATCH] mergetools/meld: improve backwards-compatibiilty when using "--output"

Meld 3.16.0 requires a "=" in the --output argument, as it uses a simple hand-rolled command-line parser.

Newer versions of Meld (3.16.4, and possibly earlier) use optpaarse, which accepts either "--output <file>" or "--output=<file>".

Use "--output=<file>" for better compatibility.
