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the file to be patched changes and a hunk is no longer applicable.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.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
r325365 caused several ports to fail to patch correctly. Revert it for the

Patches like file.txt attached to PR 190195 with a final line formed
like ">(EOL)" could cause a copy past the end of the current line buffer. In the
case of PR 191641, this caused a duplicate line to be copied into the resulting
file.
Instead of running past the end, treat it as if it were a blank line.

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.
Currently rescue/rescue and sys/modules are still not connected.

The function savestr allows NULL return values during Plan A patching so in
case of out of memory conditions, Plan B can step in. In many cases, NULL
value is not properly handled, so use xstrdup here (it's outside Plan A/B
patching, which means that even Plan B relies on successful operations).

Patch(1) uses a short int for the line length, which is usually
sufficient for regular diffs, but makes no effort to signal
when there is an overflow.
Change the line length to an unsigned short int to better use
the fact that a length is never negative. The change is loosely
inspired on a related change in DragonFly, but we avoid spending
more memory than necessary.
While here adjust the messages to be clearer on what is happening.

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.

Properly handle input lines containing NUL characters such that pgets()
accurately fills the read buffer.
Callers of pgets() still mis-process the buffer contents if the read line
contains NUL characters, but this at least makes pgets() accurate.
Make it so that 'patch < FUBAR' and 'patch -i FUBAR' operate the same.
The former makes a copy of stdin, but was not accurately putting the
content of stdin into a temp file. This lead to the undercounting
the number of lines in hunks containing NUL characters when reading
from stdin. Thus resulting in "unexpected end of file in patch" errors.
