[PATCH 3/3] add -p: handle `diff-so-fancy`'s hunk headers better

In-Reply-To
<pull.1336.git.1661277870.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The `diff-so-fancy` diff colorizer produces hunk headers that look nothing like the built-in `add -p` expects: there is no `@@ ... @@` line range, and therefore the parser cannot determine where any extra information starts, such as the function name that is often added to those hunk header lines.

However, we can do better than simply swallowing the unparseable hunk header. In the `diff-so-fancy` case, it shows something like `@ file:1 @`. Let's just show the complete hunk header because it probably offers useful information.
