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.

Properly validate line ranges supplied in diff file to prevent overflows.
Also fixes an out of boundary memory access because the resulting values
are used as array indices.
