Back when "git apply" was written, we made sure that the user can skip more than the default number of path components (i.e. 1) by giving "-p<n>", but the logic for doing so was built around the notion of "we skip N slashes and stop". This obviously does not work well when running under -p0 where we do not want to skip any, but still want to skip SP/HT that separates the pathnames of preimage and postimage and want to reject absolute pathnames. Stop using "stop_at_slash()", and instead introduce a new helper "skip_tree_prefix()" with similar logic but works correctly even for the -p0 case. This is an ancient bug, but has been masked for a long time because most of the patches are text and have other clues to tell us the name of the preimage and the postimage. Noticed by Colin McCabe.
