For the patches in the added testcases, we were crashing with:
git-apply: apply.c:3665: check_preimage: Assertion `patch->is_new <= 0' failed.
As it turns out, check_preimage() is prepared to handle these conditions,
so we can remove the assertion.
Found using AFL.

(I'm fully aware of how it looks to just delete an assertion to "fix" a
bug without any other changes to accomodate the condition that was
being tested for. I am definitely not an expert on this code, but as far
as I can tell -- both by reviewing and testing the code -- the function
really is prepared to handle the case where patch->is_new == 1, as it
will always hit another error condition if that is true. I've tried to
add more test cases to show what errors you can expect to see instead of
the assertion failure when trying to apply these nonsensical patches. If
you don't want to remove the assertion for whatever reason, please feel
free to take the testcases and add "# TODO: known breakage" or whatever.)
