filemerge: make `_maketempfiles()` more reusable `_maketempfiles()` is very specialized for its current use. I hope to use it also when creating temporary files for input for tools that do partial conflict resolution. That'll be possible if the function is more generic. Instead of passing in two contexts (for "other" and "base") and an optional path (for "local"), let's pass a single list of files to make backups for. Even if we don't end up using for partial conflict resolution, this is still a simplification (but I do have a WIP patch for partial conflict resolution and it is able to benefit from this).

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
