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, let's make find_header() return -128 instead of calling die().

We could make it return -1, unfortunately find_header() already returns -1 when no header is found.
