vasilito cb424d7448 build: static patch-sanity linter (shift-left the malformed-patch class)
verify-patch-sanity.py validates every active recipe .patch has internally-
consistent hunk line counts — catching the 'malformed patch at line N' failure
at commit/CI/preflight time instead of hours into a cook. This cycle hit that
class three times (qtwaylandscanner, sddm, xwayland), each only discovered when
cookbook tried to apply the patch.

Running it across the repo found 29 latent malformed patches (validated against
GNU patch: e.g. relibc/P3-sysv-ipc reproduces 'malformed patch at line 22').
They were harmless only because they sit in vendored recipes (baked, not re-
applied) — but would fail on any version-bump re-derivation. --fix recounts the
hunk headers (body untouched) and repaired all 29.

Wired into build-preflight.sh (Phase 1.0D) and redbear-ci.yml, with a unit test
(test-patch-sanity.sh). Skips archived/legacy trees and unvalidatable formats
(empty placeholders, bare-@@ git hunks).

I run ``clang -cc1 ...`` and get weird errors about missing headers
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Given this source file:
.. code-block:: c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello world\n");
}
If you run:
.. code-block:: console
$ clang -cc1 hello.c
hello.c:1:10: fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found
#include <stdio.h>
^
1 error generated.
``clang -cc1`` is the frontend, ``clang`` is the :doc:`driver
<DriverInternals>`. The driver invokes the frontend with options appropriate
for your system. To see these options, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ clang -### -c hello.c
Some clang command line options are driver-only options, some are frontend-only
options. Frontend-only options are intended to be used only by clang developers.
Users should not run ``clang -cc1`` directly, because ``-cc1`` options are not
guaranteed to be stable.
If you want to use a frontend-only option ("a ``-cc1`` option"), for example
``-ast-dump``, then you need to take the ``clang -cc1`` line generated by the
driver and add the option you need. Alternatively, you can run
``clang -Xclang <option> ...`` to force the driver pass ``<option>`` to
``clang -cc1``.
I get errors about some headers being missing (``stddef.h``, ``stdarg.h``)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some header files (``stddef.h``, ``stdarg.h``, and others) are shipped with
Clang --- these are called builtin includes. Clang searches for them in a
directory relative to the location of the ``clang`` binary. If you moved the
``clang`` binary, you need to move the builtin headers, too.
More information can be found in the :ref:`libtooling_builtin_includes`
section.
