Adam Johnson 21e1b44865 difftool docs: restore correct position of tool list
2a9dfdf260 (difftool docs: de-duplicate configuration sections, 2022-09-07)
moved the difftool documentation, but missed moving this "include" line that
includes the generated list of diff tools, as referenced in the moved text.

Restore the correct position of the included list.

diff.tool::
Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1].
This variable overrides the value configured in `merge.tool`.
The list below shows the valid built-in values.
Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool and requires
that a corresponding difftool.<tool>.cmd variable is defined.
diff.guitool::
Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] when
the -g/--gui flag is specified. This variable overrides the value
configured in `merge.guitool`. The list below shows the valid
built-in values. Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool
and requires that a corresponding difftool.<guitool>.cmd variable
is defined.

difftool.<tool>.cmd::
Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
of the diff post-image.
+
See the `--tool=<tool>` option in linkgit:git-difftool[1] for more details.
difftool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.
difftool.trustExitCode::
Exit difftool if the invoked diff tool returns a non-zero exit status.
+
See the `--trust-exit-code` option in linkgit:git-difftool[1] for more details.
difftool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
difftool.guiDefault::
Set `true` to use the `diff.guitool` by default (equivalent to specifying
the `--gui` argument), or `auto` to select `diff.guitool` or `diff.tool`
depending on the presence of a `DISPLAY` environment variable value. The
default is `false`, where the `--gui` argument must be provided
explicitly for the `diff.guitool` to be used.
