Patches with renames apply properly with patch >= 2.7, but not with
older patch versions. Since "git format-patch" by default generates
patches with renames, Buildroot developers often don't realize that
their patches will not apply properly on build machines that have
patch < 2.7. In order to prevent such a situation from happening
again, this commit adds some logic in apply-patches.sh to refuse
applying patches that contain renames.

Changes since v1:
 - Use "&&" for the "grep -q && grep -q" condition, as noticed by Yann
   E. Morin.

 Perhaps add to the commit message why you don't just grep for '^rename':

Since the patch commit message may contain the words "rename from" or
"rename to" as well, the grep expression is made as accurate as possible,
checking both.

 Ideally the test should start from the first ^diff, but that makes things a lot
more complicated...

 An alternative would be to do

patch --dry-run -i ${path}/${patch} | grep "(renamed from"

but I can't guarantee that that works with all patch versions that understand
rename. This the current patch is OK.

 Regards,
 Arnout

This file a space-leading, but here you have a tab...

Which leaves the tree with a single patch that contains renames, which
was added by 74a56295 (softether: don't download patch from Github) by
Peter. ;-)
