builtin-apply: accept patch to an empty file

A patch from a foreign SCM (or plain "diff" output) often have both
preimage and postimage filename on ---/+++ lines even for a patch that
creates a new file.  However, when there is a filename for preimage, we
used to insist the file to exist (either in the work tree and/or in the
index).  When we cannot be sure by parsing the patch that it is not a
creation patch, we shouldn't complain when if there is no such a file.
This commit fixes the logic.

Refactor the code that validates the preimage file into a separate
function while we are at it, as it is getting rather big.
