extdiff: allow a preconfigured merge-tool to be invoked

There are three ways to configure an extdiff tool:

    1) cmd.tool = (/path/to/exe optional)
    2) tool = (path/to/exe optional)
    3) tool = sometool someargs

Previously, if no executable is specified in the first two forms, the named tool
must be in $PATH, or the invocation fails.  Since the [merge-tools] section
already has the path to the diff executable, and/or the registry keys to find
the executable on Windows, reuse that configuration for forms 1 and 2 instead of
failing.  We already fallback to [diff-tools] and then [merge-tools] for program
arguments if they aren't specified in the [extdiff] section.

Since this additional lookup only occurs if an executable is not on the $PATH
for the named tool, this is backwards compatible.  For now, we assume the user
knows what he is doing if a path is provided.

This change allows a configuration file like this (assuming beyondcompare3 is
configured in merge-tools), instead of hardcoding system specific a path:

    [extdiff]
    beyondcompare3 =

from mercurial import wireproto

class proto(object):
    def __init__(self, args):
        self.args = args
    def getargs(self, spec):
        args = self.args
        args.setdefault('*', {})
        names = spec.split()
        return [args[n] for n in names]

class clientpeer(wireproto.wirepeer):
    def __init__(self, serverrepo):
        self.serverrepo = serverrepo
    def _call(self, cmd, **args):
        return wireproto.dispatch(self.serverrepo, proto(args), cmd)

    @wireproto.batchable
    def greet(self, name):
        f = wireproto.future()
        yield {'name': mangle(name)}, f
        yield unmangle(f.value)

class serverrepo(object):
    def greet(self, name):
        return "Hello, " + name

    def filtered(self, name):
        return self

def mangle(s):
    return ''.join(chr(ord(c) + 1) for c in s)
def unmangle(s):
    return ''.join(chr(ord(c) - 1) for c in s)

def greet(repo, proto, name):
    return mangle(repo.greet(unmangle(name)))

wireproto.commands['greet'] = (greet, 'name',)

srv = serverrepo()
clt = clientpeer(srv)

print clt.greet("Foobar")
b = clt.batch()
fs = [b.greet(s) for s in ["Fo, =;o", "Bar"]]
b.submit()
print [f.value for f in fs]
