Log:
  patch(1): Exit successfully if we're fed a 0-length patch
  
  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.
