fetchpatch: Allow to pass a postFetch attribute.
Comes in handy if we want to make additional modificiations to the
output file. While I wasn't sure whether to invoke the passed postFetch
directly before the patch or afterwards, I thought it would be better
afterwards because "postFetch of fetchpatch" at least to my intuition
would sound that after whatever "fetchpatch" does - it comes afterwards.

# This function downloads and normalizes a patch/diff file.
# This is primarily useful for dynamically generated patches,
# such as GitHub's or cgit's, where the non-significant content parts
# often change with updating of git or cgit.
# stripLen acts as the -p parameter when applying a patch.
