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)
As promised, drop the option to make the older GNU patch
the default.
GNU patch is still being built but something drastic may
happen to it to it before Release.
The BSD-licensed patch(1) command has matured and it's behaviour
can be considered equivalent to the older version of GNU patch
in the tree.
The switch has been extensively tested [1] and only two ports
presented regressions, which have since been fixed.
For convenience a new WITH_GNU_PATCH option is available,
but it will likely be removed in the near future.

- Remove $DragonFly$ tags as they are using git nowadays and VCS tags will
not help merging.
- Other changes to Copyright headers to make them consistent with other
source code, we intend to fork from this point.

DragonflyBSD and install it as bsdpatch. WITH_BSD_PATCH makes it
default and installs GNU patch as gnupatch.
