When first doing a merge in git-gui, the "Visualize Merge" button is
quite helpful to visualize the changes due to a merge.
But once the merge is complete, there's not a similarly convenient
way to recreate that merge view in gitk.

This commit adds to gitk the ability to right-click on a merge commit and
bring up a new gitk window displaying only those commits involved in
the merge.

When right-clicking on a non-merge commit, this option is grayed out.  This
patch also supports correct visualization of octopus merges
