patch-id: ignore newline at end of file in diff_flush_patch_id()

Whitespace is ignored when calculating patch IDs. This is done by removing all whitespace from diff lines before hashing them, including a newline at the end of a file. If that newline is missing, however, diff reports that fact in a separate line containing "\ No newline at end of file\n", and this marker is hashed like a context line. This goes against our goal of making patch IDs independent of whitespace. Use the same heuristic that 2485eab55cc (git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17) added to git patch-id instead and skip diff lines that start with a backslash and a space and are longer than twelve characters.
