In git-mergetool, the logic for getting which merge tool to use is duplicated in git-mergetool--lib, except for the fact that it needs to know whether the tool was guessed or not. Rewrite `get_merge_tool` to return whether or not the tool was guessed through the return code and make git-mergetool call this function instead of duplicating the logic. Note that 1 was chosen to be the return code of when a tool is guessed because it seems like a slightly more abnormal condition than getting a tool that's explicitly specified but this is completely arbitrary. Also, let `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not the guitool will be selected. This change is not completely backwards compatible as there may be external users of git-mergetool--lib. However, only one user, git-diffall[1], was found from searching GitHub and Google, and this tool is superseded by `git difftool --dir-diff` anyway. It seems very unlikely that there exists an external caller that would take into account the return code of `get_merge_tool` as it would always return 0 before this change so this change probably does not affect any external users.
