mergetool: reorder vim/gvim buffers in three-way diffs

diwo · gitster · commit 2300328cb209 · 2016-02-12T10:14:09.000-08:00
When invoking default (g)vimdiff three-way merge, the merged file is
loaded as the first buffer but moved to the bottom as the fourth window.
This causes a disconnect between vim commands that operate on window
positions (e.g. CTRL-W_w) and those that operate on buffer index (e.g.
do/dp).

This change reorders the buffers to have the same index as windows while
keeping the cursor default to the merged result as the bottom window.
