merge-tools: allow marking a mergetool as completely disabled

Very often in my life I'm finding that the only configured merge tool
present on the system is vimdiff[0], and it's currently impossible (as
far as I can tell) short of specifying `ui.merge = `[1] to actually
*disable* a merge tool. This allows vimdiff-haters to put:

  [merge-tools]
  vimdiff.disable = yes

in their ~/.hgrc and never see vimdiff again. I'm stopping short of
putting this as a commented out entry in the sample new user hgrc
(seen when a user runs `hg config --edit` with no ~/.hgrc) for now,
but I might come back and do that later.

0: vimdiff is at an awkward intersection: it's usually installed by
the vim package which is often installed as a vi substitute, so it's
mere presence doesn't imply me wanting it, unlike (say) kdiff3.

1: There's a related problem I ran into today where specifying
`ui.merge = :merge` failed because :merge isn't a command, which I
think is a regression. I'll try and figure that out and at least file
a bug.

  $ hg init

  $ touch to-be-deleted
  $ hg add
  adding to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m first
  $ echo a > to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m second
  $ rm to-be-deleted
  $ hg diff -r 0

Same issue, different code path

  $ hg up -C
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ touch does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg add
  adding does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg ci -m third
  $ rm does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg diff -r 1
