As promised, drop the option to make the older GNU patch
the default.
GNU patch is still being built but something drastic may
happen to it to it before Release.
The BSD-licensed patch(1) command has matured and it's behaviour
can be considered equivalent to the older version of GNU patch

The switch has been extensively tested [1] and only two ports
presented regressions, which have since been fixed.
For convenience a new WITH_GNU_PATCH option is available,
but it will likely be removed in the near future.

the patch instead of looping.
