Patch should default to not try to get files from revision
control software unless actively asked by the user with
the "-g" or "--get" command-line switches or the PATCH_GET
environment variable.
   
Make the posixly correct behaviour of not using source
control, the global patch default. I.e. default to "-g0".
   
This is related to debian BTS bug: #200895
Please refer to that discussion for more background
information and discussion.

I wrote this patch, because, like the debian bug reporter,
I was annoyed by patch default behaviour of bugging me with
perforce-related error messages when I had no perforce server
running, nor was I working with files under perforce source
control management.
