apply: correctly reverse patch's pre- and post-image mode bits

When parsing the patch header, unless it is a patch that changes file modes, we only read the mode bits into the .old_mode member of the patch structure and leave .new_mode member as initialized, i.e., to 0. Later when we need the original mode bits, we consult .old_mode. However, reverse_patches() that is used to swap the names and modes of the preimage and postimage files is not aware of this convention, leading the .old_mode to be 0 while the mode we read from the patch is left in .new_mode. Only swap .old_mode and .new_mode when .new_mode is not 0 (i.e. we saw a patch that modifies the filemode and know what the new mode is). When .new_mode is set to 0, it means the preimage and the postimage files have the same mode (which is in the .old_mode member) and when applying such a patch in reverse, the value in .old_mode is what we expect the (reverse-) preimage file to have.
