When the flag `--no-auto-advance` is used with `--patch`, if the user has decided `USE` on a hunk in a file, goes to another file, and then returns to this file and changes the previous decision on the hunk to `SKIP`, because the patch has already been applied, the last decision is not registered and the now SKIPPED hunk is still applied.

Move the logic for applying patches into a function so that we can reuse this logic to implement the all or non application of the patches after the user is done with the hunk selection.
