support/scripts/apply-patches.sh: do not apply patches with renames

Patches with renames apply properly with patch >= 2.7, but not with
older patch versions. Since "git format-patch" by default generates
patches with renames, Buildroot developers often don't realize that
their patches will not apply properly on build machines that have
patch < 2.7. In order to prevent such a situation from happening
again, this commit adds some logic in apply-patches.sh to refuse
applying patches that contain renames.

Note that just searching for '^rename' is not sufficient, since the
patch commit message may contain the words "rename from" or "rename to"
as well. Therefore, the grep expression is made as accurate as possible,
checking both.
