Some patches have a timezone formatted like ‘-08:00’ instead of
‘-0800’ (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/), so git apply would
fail to recognize the epoch timestamp of deleted files and would
create empty files instead. Teach it to support both formats, and add
a test case.

Unified context patch generated by GNU diff has UNIX epoch timestamp
on the side that does not exist when the patch is about a creation or
a deletion event. Notice this convention when reading a non-git diff.
