More "git-apply" safety fixes

This was triggered by me testing the "@@" numbering shorthand by GNU 
patch, which not only showed that git-apply thought it meant the number 
was duplicated (when it means that the second number is 1), but my tests 
showed than when git-apply mis-understood the number, it would then not 
raise an alarm about it if the patch ended early.

Now, this doesn't actually _matter_, since with a three-line context, the 
only case that "x,1" will be shorthanded to "x" is when x itself is 1 (in 
which case git-apply got it right), but the fact that git-apply would also 
silently accept truncated patches was a missed opportunity for additional 
sanity-checking.

So make git-apply refuse to look at a patch fragment that ends early.

If you already applied the first hunk, just ignore that part, and apply 
the second one that adds the test for oldlines/newlines being zero after 
the patch.

Neither of these two changes should matter for a well-formed patch, but 
it's definitely the right thing to do.
