builtin: patch-id: fix patch-id with binary diffs
"git patch-id" currently doesn't produce correct output if the incoming diff has any binary files. Add logic to get_one_patchid to handle the different possible styles of binary diff. This attempts to keep resulting patch-ids identical to what would be produced by the counterpart logic in diff.c, that is it produces the id by hashing the a and b oids in succession. In general we handle binary diffs by first caching the object ids from the "index" line and using those if we then find an indication that the diff is binary. The input could contain patches generated with "git diff --binary". This currently breaks the parse logic and results in multiple patch-ids output for a single commit. Here we have to skip the contents of the patch itself since those do not go into the patch id. --binary implies --full-index so the object ids are always available. When the diff is generated with --full-index there is no patch content to skip over. When a diff is generated without --full-index or --binary, it will contain abbreviated object ids. This will still result in a sufficiently unique patch-id when hashed, but does not match internal patch id output. We'll call this ok for now as we already need specialized arguments to diff in order to match internal patch id (namely -U3).
