mergetool: allow auto-merge for meld to follow the vim-diff behavior
Make the mergetool used with "meld" backend behave similarly to "vimdiff" by
telling it to auto-merge non-conflicting parts and highlight the conflicting
parts when `mergetool.meld.useAutoMerge` is configured with `true`, or `auto`
for detecting the `--auto-merge` option automatically.
