[PATCH] tools/applymbox: allow manual fixing and continuing after a failure.

With "-c .dotest/0002" flag, the applymbox command can be told
to use existing .dotest/patch file after hand-fixing the patch
conflicts for the second patch in the mailbox, and continue on
from that message, skipping the already applied first patch in
.dotest/0001.
