patch_parse: fix parsing minimal trailing diff line
In a diff, the shortest possible hunk with a modification (that is, no deletion) results from a file with only one line with a single character which is removed. Thus the following hunk @@ -1 +1 @@ -a + is the shortest valid hunk modifying a line. The function parsing the hunk body though assumes that there must always be at least 4 bytes present to make up a valid hunk, which is obviously wrong in this case. The absolute minimum number of bytes required for a modification is actually 2 bytes, that is the "+" and the following newline. Note: if there is no trailing newline, the assumption will not be offended as the diff will have a line "\ No trailing newline" at its end. This patch fixes the issue by lowering the amount of bytes required.
