apply: report the location of corrupt patches

When parsing a corrupt patch, git apply reports only the line number.
That does not tell the user which input the line number refers to.

Include the patch input path in the error message so the reported
location is easier to use.

Reset the line number for each patch input so the reported location stays
correct when multiple input files are provided.

Add tests for file input, standard input, multiple patch inputs, and
existing binary-diff corrupt patch cases.
