if `first_guess' is zero then main() assumes that locate_hunk has failed
and aborts the patch operation. Instead, make sure to return 1 (the
line number) so that the patch operation can continue.
Issue originally found by Neels Hofmeyr in the regress suite of the diff
implementation for got, where the tests assume that applying a diff with
`patch' and then again with `patch -R' yields back the original file.

When a file is missing, patch(1) will prompt for a filename to try and
patch it. If we're doing a dry-run, we'll output that the patch to the
source file was either ignored/failed. If you ignore the prompt in a
dry-run (i.e. just hit enter), we'll output:
X out of X hunks ignored while patching (null)
Let's improve the aesthetics a bit and just omit the last part if the
prompt was ignored:
X out of X hunks ignored
Unfortunately we can't really test this without expect(1) because both
force and batch mode will use the first best guess, which is wiped out
by the "File to patch:" prompt. We could record the initially derived
bestguess there and use *that*, but given that this is only possible in
an interactive session I think it's fine to just omit the filename
rather than adding a fair amount of complexity (which could also break
other scenarios I haven't considered yet)..

Every version of patch since the first one posted to mod.sources in 1985 have
included a heuristic for coping with the state of email messaging at the
time. This heuristic would add up to 4 blank lines to a patch if it thought it
needed it. The trouble is, though this causes at least one bug.
The bug in my case is that if you have a context diff whose last hunk only
deletes 3 or fewer lines, then if you try to reverse apply it with -R, it will
fail. The reason for this is the heuristic builds an internal representation
that includes those blank lines. However, it should really replicate the lines
from the pattern lines line it would any other time, not assume they are blank
lines. Removing this heuristic will prevent patch from misapplying the lines
removed after applying a 'fuzz' factor to the previous blank line in the file. I
believe this will only affect 'new-style' 4.3BSD context diffs and not the
older-style 4.2BSD diffs and plain, non-context diffs. It won't affect any of
the newer formats, since they don't use the 'omitted' construct in the same way.
Since this heuristic was put into patch at a time when email / etc ate trailing
white space on a regular basis, and since it's clear that this heuristic is the
wrong thing to do at least some of the time, it's better to remove it
entirely. It's not been needed for maybe 20 years since patch files are not
usually corrupted. If there are a small number of patch files that would benefit
from this corruption fixing, those already-currupt patches can be fixed by the
addition of blank lines. I'd wager that no one will ever come to me with an
example of a once-working patch file that breaks with this change. However, I
have 2 patches from the first 195 patches to 2.11BSD that are affected by this
bug, suggesting that the relative frequency of the issue has changed
signficantly since the original heuristic was put into place.

We have a bad habit of duplicating contents of files that are sourced from
/dev/null and applied more than once... take the more sane (in most ways)
GNU route and complain if the file exists and offer reversal options.
This still falls short a little bit as selecting "don't reverse, apply
anyway" will still give you duplicated file contents. There's probably other
issues as well, but awareness is the first step to happiness.

To remain compatible with GNU patch, we should ensure that once we're
removing empty files after a reversed /dev/null patch we don't remove files
that have been modified. GNU patch leaves these intact and just reverses the
hunk that created the file, effectively implying --remove-empty-files for
reversed /dev/null patches.
Summary:
- basic: test application of patches created by diff -u at the
beginning/middle/end of file, which have differing amounts of context
before and after chunks being added
- limited_ctx: stems from PR 74127 in which a rogue line was getting added
when the patch should have been rejected. Similar behavior was
reproducible with larger contexts near the beginning/end of a file. See
r326084 for details
- file_creation: patch sourced from /dev/null should create the file
- file_nodupe: said patch sourced from /dev/null shouldn't dupe the contents
when re-applied (personal vendetta, WIP, see comment)
- file_removal: this follows from nodupe; the reverse of a patch sourced
from /dev/null is most naturally deleting the file, as is expected based
on GNU patch behavior (WIP)
This change is made in the name of GNU patch compatibility. If GNU patch is
fed a zero-length patch, it will exit successfully with no output. This is
used in at least one port to date (comms/wsjtx), and we break on this usage.
It seems unlikely that anyone relies on patch(1) calling their completely
empty patch garbage and failing, and GNU compatibility is a plus if it helps
with porting, so make the switch.

Plan A mmap()'s the entire input file and operates on it in memory. The
map(2) call succeeded, so we shouldn't need to bother checking for the NUL
byte as long as we're within our buffer space.
This was clearly intentional to match "the behavior of the original code",
but it creates a discrepancy between Plan A and Plan B that doesn't seem
sensible and it's not inherently wrong to allow a NUL byte.
This change was motivated by the gemspec in net/rubygem-grpc failing to
patch, despite the patch being generated with diff, because a NUL byte was
used as a delimiter in the header briefly in an otherwise text file.
An alternative was considered: to fallback to plan B if plan A won't process
the entire file due to a NUL byte, but I deemed this to be the better option
since plan A isn't failing due to memory limitations and will fail later on
if it's really dealing with a file it shouldn't be.

Patches with very little context (-U0 and -U1) could get misapplied if
the file to be patched changes and a hunk is no longer applicable. Matching
with fuzz would be attempted and default to a match when we unexpectedly ran
out of context.
This also affected patches with higher levels of context but had limited
actual context due to the hunk being located near the beginning/end of file.

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is
very unmaintainable.
