Affected Version: 2.0.6
Allow users to upload a patch file using standard browser upload form field.
Apply it to a commit, and create a new change from it for review.
This is meant to lower the barrier for entry for "drive by" patchings, where
someone identifies a small minor issue, fixes it in some tarball copy of the
code, and creates a patch with GNU diff. They don't want to build a full Git
or repo clone just to supply their patch upstream.
