I've committed also the rename, it makes read_patch easier too :)

here's the diff for it.

I'm still undecided if checking for empty hunks in patch.c too as a
safety net is a good idea given that got-read-patch now fails for those.

The rationale would be that if got-read-patch somehow misses that case,
we end up with a NULL h->lines that causes a segfault in patch_file.
Maybe we can just assume the libexec helper sends good data?  I'm
probably too paranoic.
