[PATCH] Symlink mergetools scriptlets into valgrind wrappers

Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,
2011-08-18) the mergetools and difftools related tests fail under
--valgrind because the mergetools/* scriptlets are not in the exec
path.

For now, symlink the mergetools subdir into the t/valgrind/bin
directory as a whole, since it does not contain anything of interest
to the valgrind wrappers.

That's it, master is back to valgrind-clean on my box.  Thanks for
reading.

I'm not super-excited about special-casing like this, but I don't think
there's a way to make it much cleaner without a lot of fuss. And the
valgrind stuff is pretty special-cased as it is (it would probably be
cleaner if it were integrated with the bin-wrappers rules in the
Makefile). But it's probably not worth spending effort on it. What's
there works, and your patch is a sane and straightforward fix for this
new issue. So:
