Patches as produced by "git format-patch" have a trailing signature
that is separated from the body by a line with "-- " on it. By default
it contains the Git version. We erroneously include this signature
in the diff we pipe to patch, which fails to apply as a result.
Add a targeted fix to suppress these signatures.
Since :patch transforms its inputs into context-only lines, we can
easily get into a state where a file diff has only context lines.
git apply does not accept a "diff" without any hunk, so let's skip
that.
One of the features I miss most from Magit/Fugitive/Tig is to
apply/revert/stage/unstage individual hunks or even exactly the
selected line(s). This provides a much more convenient way of
splitting changes than "git add/restore -p".
Implement a "patch" command that applies the selected lines within
a diff by piping them to the "patch" program.
It can also feed other programs like "git apply" (see the next commit).

Interestingly, :patch is defined outside the "patch" module. This is
to make it readily available for interactive use.
Putting it into the module does not save any work.
I tentatively added a patch module anyway so we can explicitly declare
this dependency.. although there is the argument that this is not
really needed?
