Open external merge tool with original file extensions for all three files

Before this change, conflicted files were open in external merge tool with
temporary filenames like REMOTE.$$ and LOCAL.$$.  This way meld was unable
to recognize these files and syntax highlighting feature was unusable.

Help such merge tools by giving temporar files the same extension as the
original.
