mergetools: vimdiff issue a warning explaining how to abort

Adds a message displayed at each vimdiff invocation:

  merge conflict detected, type ":cq" to abort

Vimdiff is very confusing for non-vim user (not to speak about vim user confused
anyway. However it is very likely that vimdiff is picked as the mergetool of
choice when using the default config:
- vim is available on all UNIX system.
- Its one of the rare non graphical merge tools.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
