A hunk like this in a hand-edited patch without correctly adjusting
the line counts:

at the end of the input does not have a good way for us to diagnose
it as a corrupt patch. We just read two context lines and discard
the remainder as cruft, which we must do in order to ignore the
e-mail footer. Notice that the patch does not change anything and
signal an error.
Note that this fix will not help if the hand-edited hunk header were
"@@ -660,3, +660,2" to include the removal. We would just remove
the old text without adding the new one, and treat "+ some new text"
and everything after that line as trailing cruft. So it is dubious
that this patch alone would help very much in practice, but it may
be better than nothing.

When git apply is passed something that is not a patch, it does not produce
an error message or exit with a non-zero status if it was not actually
"applying" the patch i.e. --check or --numstat etc were supplied on the
command line.
Fix this by producing an error when apply fails to find any hunks whatsoever
while parsing the patch.
This will cause some of the output formats (--numstat, --diffstat, etc) to
produce an error when they formerly would have reported zero changes and
exited successfully. That seems like the correct behavior though. Failure
to recognize the input as a patch should be an error.
Plus, add a test.
