[PATCH] parser: recognise git commit consisting only of empty new file

Commits with only an empty new file are liable to be missed.
The parser state machine doesn't recognise the headers "new
file mode" and "index": teach it about them.

Add a test to demonstrate.

It's a little bit academic as you don't usually send patches like
that but sometimes you do, especially if you're a snowpatch dev :)

Closes: #256

Apologies for the long radio silence. I'm now in a job where Patchwork
is slightly adjacent to my role, so I have a bit more flexibility to work
on it. The usual lack of promises apply.
