Very nice.
One thought I had was that the unified show_tool_help should
probably check TOOL_MODE=diff and skip over the
!can_diff entries.
The current output of "git difftool --tool-help" before your
patches has the problem that it will list tools such as
"tortoisemerge" as "valid but not available" because it
does not differentiate between missing and !can_diff.

This is where we conflated can_diff with "is the tool available?".
The nice thing is that the old code did actually check can_diff,
but since it conflated these things it ended up putting them
in the @notfound list. It should ignore those completely, IMO.
That could be a nice follow-up patch. What do you think?
