contrib/difftool: use a separate config namespace for difftool commands
Some users have different mergetool and difftool settings, so teach difftool to read config vars from the difftool.* namespace. This allows having distinct configurations for the diff and merge scenarios. We don't want to force existing users to set new values for no reason so difftool falls back to existing mergetool config variables when the difftool equivalents are not defined.
