[PATCH 0/5] `--whitespace=fix` with `--no-ignore-whitespace`

When we see `--whitespace=fix` we don't consider a possible option: `--no-ignore-whitespace`. The following example produces unexpected, at least for me, results:

    $ printf "a \nb\nc\n" >file
    $ git add file
    $ cat >patch <<END
    --- a/file
    +++ b/file
    @@ -1,3 +1,2 @@
     a
    -b
     c
    END
    $ git apply --no-ignore-whitespace --whitespace=fix patch
    $ xxd file
    00000000: 610a 630a                                a.c.

`git apply` should fail because the context line with 'a' doesn't match the line with 'a ' in the file.

This series aims to make `--whitespace=fix` strictly match context lines even if they have whitespace errors.

Adding a new `ignore_ws_default` is intended to reduce the blast radius of changing the behavior of `--whitespace=fix`. Perhaps there are better ways to do this. I'm open to suggestions.

The last two patches [4-5/5] contain minor code improvements I made while reading the code working on this series. They can be discarded if anyone has concerns.

Thanks.

  apply: introduce `ignore_ws_default`
  apply: honor `ignore_ws_none` with `correct_ws_error`
  apply: whitespace errors in context lines if we have `ignore_ws_none`
  apply: error message in `record_ws_error()`
