[PATCH v6 04/44] builtin/apply: make find_header() return -1 instead of die()ing

To libify `git apply` functionality we have to signal errors to the caller instead of die()ing.

To do that in a compatible manner with the rest of the error handling in builtin/apply.c, find_header() should return -1 instead of calling die().

Unfortunately find_header() already returns -1 when no header is found, so let's make it return -2 instead in this case.
