patching: rewrite: fully stabilize patch index stanzas as well as From lines

• patching: rewrite: fully stabilize patch index stanzas as well as From lines
  • git format-patch --zero-commit doesn't affect index xxx...yyy lines, only From:
    • so use the classy "use a regex with a callback" solution as git format-patch doesn't offer one
  • this will make all patches change when rewritten, but hopefully for the last time !
  • we need to preserve index 000000000000..xxx as zeros, which indicate new file creation, thus:
    • new file creations are rewritten as index 000000000000..111111111111
    • non-creations are rewritten as index 111111111111..222222222222
  • this is the final version of #6455
