Problem/Motivation
Some recipes will eventually require some kind of patch to work completely, either core or a contrib module level patch. Right now applying a recipe does not apply its patches, nor copies them to the root. If applying a recipe could also apply patches, there needs to be a way of merging in the patches section to the root composer.json, or those changes are lost on the next composer command.
Proposed resolution
Mimic how the unpack command copies modules to the root composer.json for patches with a Composer plugin.
