Franz Pletz 7e8b3adb04 fetchpatch: add addPrefixes argument
Sometimes patches start without a leading prefix. We default to strip
one prefix or path component from patches (-p1) in the patchPhase in
stdenv.

As all patches should therefore be in this format, fetchpatch should
have an option to normalize patch paths. This commit introduces a new
argument to fetchpatch called addPrefixes that adds one patch prefix to
the old and new paths in a patch before putting it into the store.

# This function downloads and normalizes a patch/diff file.
# This is primarily useful for dynamically generated patches,
# such as GitHub's or cgit's, where the non-significant content parts
# often change with updating of git or cgit.
# stripLen acts as the -p parameter when applying a patch.
