patch: support of git patches when the source uri contained subpath parameter

This is for a specific case where:
  - A recipe use a subpath on a git repo (e.g. git://repo.git/projects;subpath=subproject)
  - The recipe contains a patch to apply
  - a devtool modify is used on this recipe

With these conditions, the patch cannot be applied at all.
GitApplyTree class is used for handling patch under devtool, but
when subpath is present in SRC_URI, the resulting git tree
is dirty (every files and directories which was not in subpath are suppressed)
and so "git am" refuse to apply patches.

That would not be an issue since the GitApplyTree have a fallback
to PatchTree in case of error, but during this error management,
there is a "git reset --hard HEAD" call which suppress the subpath
operation and finally prevents the patch to be applied even with PatchTree.

When devtool is not involved, only PatchTree class is used and the
above problem is irrelevant.

To support git patching during devtool, the presence of subpath and
the dirtyness of the repo are checked. If both conditions are
met, we directly call PatchTree like it was already done
in case of error during git apply.
