[PATCH (resend)] Pass -C1 to git-apply in StGIT's apply_diff() and apply_patch().

Running git-apply without -C is too restrictive: when the patch has some fuzz (it could have been applied upstream with the fuzz, or different local branches have slightly different context), StGIT would start manual merge because of the conflict in the context. Passing -C1 makes git-apply behave close to default mode of diff/patch: 'diff' generates 3 lines of context, and 'patch' allows 2 line mismatch, i.e. it requires the match of at least one context line.

Fix in apply_diff() relaxes the restriction in 'push --merged' and 'rebase --merged' for detection of upstream merges, fix in apply_patch() does relaxation 'import', 'fold' and 'sync' commands.

This patch is a quick hack, better solution would be to have a control
over the value to -C option, or to have the option similar to
git-cvsexportcommit -p (pedantic mode).
