Allow the user to force a patch to be applied even though there might

If you ignore whitespace, then you should probably accept patches that are
whitespace corrupted in another way: lines missing the ' ' at the
beginning. Especially lines that are empty. That's actually the most
common form of whitespace corruption there is.
Actually, a more restricted from of --ignore-whitespace may be useful,
--ignore-trailing-whitespace (needs a shorter name!). Ignore only
trailing whitespace differences (including empty context lines without
the initial space).
