patch: tweaks
1) Eliminate spurious warnings about possibly reduced hunks. Instead only
note a possible location if we don't find a non-reversed place to apply it.
(Otherwise, hunks that move code forward around within a file look reversed at
the removal site.)
2) Open the source file read-only, so we can apply patches to read-only files.
