[PATCH V2] patch-id: fix scan_hunk_header on diffs with 1 line of before/after

Normally diffs will contain a hunk header of the format "@@ -2,2 +2,15 @@ code". However in certain situations git can omit the second comma separated value in either before or after line counts in the case where there is only one line.

This can produce hunk headers that look like "@@ -2 +2,18 @@ code" or "@@ -2,2 +2 @@ code". As a result, scan_hunk_header mistakenly returns the line number as line count, which then results in unpredictable parsing errors with the rest of the patch, including giving multiple lines of output for a single commit.

Fix by explicitly setting line count to 1 when there is no comma, and add a test.

apply.c contains this same logic except it is correct. A worthwhile future project might be to unify these two diff parsers so they both benefit from fixes.
