[issue1941] built-in patch mishandles offset hunks

New submission from Greg Onufer <gonufer at jazzhaiku.com>:

I have a long file with a new 41 line copyright header at the beginning, the 
"hg export -g" patch is against a file without the 41 line copyright header.  
Two of the chunks could apply to several places in the file.  hg import 
using the built-in patch implementation doesn't adjust self.offset like GNU 
patch does, it applies hunks to the wrong locations in the file.

This tweak makes it produce the same output file as GNU patch 2.5.9 (note: 
patch 2.5.4 had broken offset tracking and did it wrong, too).
