mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged files
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.
