Slack Coder 3c202564bf cli: split into patch::create and patch::update
Simplify codebase by splitting patch::create::run() into patch::create::run() and
patch::update::run().

Patch has the subcommands `create` and `update` but both use the same
method to do the heavy lifting.  Spitting the code allows us to detangle
the code path making it easier to follow.

Also, reduce cognitive load by minimizing the amount of variables used
and isolating them to utility functions.  For instance, `head_branch` can be passed to
these methods instead of `head_oid` and `head_branch`.

When contributing to another's project, it is common for the contribution to be of many commits and involve a discussion with the project's maintainer. This is supported via Radicle's patches.

Here we give a brief overview for using patches in our hypothetical car scenario. It turns out instructions containing the power requirements were missing from the project.

$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS

Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git.

$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS

Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.

$ rad patch open --message "define power requirements" --no-confirm
