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).

Report a Bug
============
To file a Mesa bug, go to `GitLab on
freedesktop.org <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues>`__.
Please follow these bug reporting guidelines:
- Check if a new version of Mesa is available which might have fixed
the problem.
- Check if your bug is already reported in the database.
- Monitor your bug report for requests for additional information, etc.
- Attach the output of running glxinfo or wglinfo. This will tell us
the Mesa version, which device driver you're using, etc.
- If you're reporting a crash, try to use your debugger (gdb) to get a
stack trace. Also, recompile Mesa in debug mode to get more detailed
information.
- Describe in detail how to reproduce the bug, especially with games
and applications that the Mesa developers might not be familiar with.
- Provide an `apitrace <https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace>`__ or
simple GLUT-based test program if possible.
The easier a bug is to reproduce, the sooner it will be fixed. Please do
everything you can to facilitate quickly fixing bugs. If your bug report
is vague or your test program doesn't compile easily, the problem may
not be fixed very quickly.
