bug#15303: 24.3; [diff-mode] diff-hunk-kill doesn't update numbers in subsequent hunks

[mcepl@redhat.com (Matěj Cepl)]

1) Start Emacs
2) Open a patch file, it will open in a diff-mode
3) kill a hunk (Alt-K)

Example:

Let's have a patch with two subsequent hunks:

That's actually wrong. The original hunk added three lines to the new
file, so when it is killed, the new line number in the hunk header
should be decreased by three, so the line should be
