mergetools: refine vimdiff warning message

We explicitly redraw before echoing the message so that it simply
displays at the bottom of the window. Also simplifies the message
printing by using 'echomsg' (which uses 'echohl' internally) and adds
the names of the software involved for improved Googleability.

# extdiff will set the parent and child to a single file if there is
# only one change. If there are multiple changes, directories will be
# set. diff(1) does not cope particularly with directories; instead we
# do the recursion ourselves and diff each file individually.

	# output. This is antisocial.
