    This introduces File.apply_patch(), which will apply patched file
    content to the filesystem for full-repository tools. This takes care of
    properly applying not just added/modified changes (which worked fine
    before) but deleted, moved, and copied files (which didn't).

    In the future, we may want to switch this to applying a patch through
    GNU patch, to take advanage of time-tested patching logic. For now,
    that's not how Review Bot works, so we're mimicking the logic we most
    need for our tools.

    New unit tests pass.
