am: ignore leading whitespace before patch
Some web-based email clients prepend whitespace to raw message
transcripts to workaround content-sniffing in some browsers. Adjust
the patch format detection logic to ignore leading whitespace.
So now you can apply patches from GMail with "git am" in three steps:
1. choose "show original"
2. tell the browser to "save as" (for example by pressing Ctrl+S)
3. run "git am" on the saved file
This fixes a regression introduced by v1.6.4-rc0~15^2~2 (git-am
foreign patch support: autodetect some patch formats, 2009-05-27).
GMail support was first introduced to "git am" by v1.5.4-rc0~274^2
(Make mailsplit and mailinfo strip whitespace from the start of the
input, 2007-11-01).
