Make `--patch` compatible with git diff patches
Filenames in git diff patches are prefixed by default by "a/" (source) and "b/" destination. Such patches don't work with ruby-builds `--patch` option since it internally uses `patch -p0`. Prior workarounds were to use either an intermediate step: filterdiff --strip=1 or to generate the patch without the prefix in the first place: git diff --no-prefix ... Now, git diff patches are detected by searching for this pattern: diff --git a/... And `patch -p1` is used by default in such cases to strip the 1st component of filename paths. Fixes #521, closes #484
