Tidy up git mergetool's backup file behaviour
Currently a backup pre-merge file with conflict markers is sometimes
kept with a .orig extenstion and sometimes removed depending on the
particular merge tool used.
This patch makes the handling consistent across all merge tools and
configurable via a new mergetool.keepBackup config variable
