User patching already exists, but ebuilds have to support it for it to
work by calling epatch_user during src_prepare(). EAPI6 will make
calling this mandatory, and will put it in the default phase function.
So, 100% of EAPI6 ebuilds will support it, though many ebuilds already
support it otherwise.
All you need to do is add epatch_user to src_prepare in an existing
ebuild to use it. If you want to patch the build system you'll also
need to make calls to autotools/etc as needed after calling
epatch_user.
