Add an entry for --tool-help to the mergetool documentation.

Move --tool-help in the difftool documentation so that it is
listed immediately after --tool so that it is easier to find.

This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync
between the implementation and the documentation.

In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools
with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in
the documentation.  We do not want to have a complete list of valid
tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things
the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help
for a complete list.

Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git
subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories.
Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on
unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an
unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their
other stages.

Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted
blobs under subdir.

<title>Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections</title>

<id>7791a1d9b9a4f4e15662c7c9c7f5837f461bb987</id>
<content type='text'>
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

<title>doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages</title>

The point of these sections is generally to:

  1. Give credit where it is due.

  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame.  For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
