Add -C[NUM] to git-am so that patches can be applied even
if context has changed a bit.

I just had to apply a largish number of patches on a project
that has evolved since, and I found the following to be useful.

What do others think.

FWIW, I am in favor although I do not foresee myself ever using
it.  However, this has slight ramifications.

 - we will be keeping applymbox after all.  shouldn't this be
   side-ported to it?

 - am is used as a workhorse for rebase.  shouldn't this be
   accessible through its command line as well?

The same goes for Andy's --patchdepth thing.
