import: abort instead of crashing when copy source does not exist (issue5375)

Previously, when a patch contained a move or copy from a source that did not
exist, `hg import` would crash. This patch changes import to raise a PatchError
with an explanantion of what is wrong with the patch to avoid the stack trace
and bad user experience.

Hmm.

For a patch modifying a non-existing file we already get:


unable to find 'f' for patching
1 out of 1 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file f.rej
patch failed, unable to continue (try -v)
patch failed, rejects left in working directory

$ cat f.rej

+f

In the tested case, I would thus also expect it to leave a .rej file with the failing rename "hunk" while applying the rest of the patch (even though a pure rename arguably *doesn't* have any hunks).

BUT the logic around this check seems wrong. A rename or copy of a missing file should be handled exactly the same, no matter if it is a bare rename/copy or if it also modifies the file (= has a first hunk).

I don't know if it is better to give a not-entirely-correct abort than to fail with an assertion error, but I think it still deserves a FIXME/TODO.

(The iterhunks docstring seems wrong, for example regarding 'file' entries and firsthunk. Let's go find pmezard!)
