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. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <redacted>Funny, I was doing almost the same thing in [1], so I obviously like it. Back then Junio found it "Meh" because "it already is mentioned in the description of --tool above", but I still think all available command line option should be listed as such.
Either way is fine by me. Even though I do not think it adds much value, there is no reason to hiding the option; it is not like we are discouraging the use of it. Let's take the version with the description of --tool-help, then, and have it next to the description of --tool. Thanks for sanity checking.
