mergetools/meld: make usage of `--output` configurable and more robustda/mergetool-meld
Older versions of meld listed --output in `meld --help`. Newer versions only mention `meld [OPTIONS...]`. Improve the checks to catch these newer versions. Add a `mergetool.meld.hasOutput` configuration to allow overriding the heuristic.
