All branches in the Perforce server are downloaded to allow branch detection. If
you have a centralized server on a remote location and there is a big number of
branches this operation can take some time.
This patch adds the configuration option git-p4.branchUser to allow filtering
the branch list by user. Although this limits the branch maintenance in Perforce
to be done by a single user, it might be an advantage when the number of
branches being used in a specific depot is very small when compared with the
branches available in the server.

If the git commits you are submitting contain changes made by
other people, the authorship will not be retained. Change git-p4
to warn of this and to note that --preserve-user can be used
to solve the problem (if you have suitable permissions).
The warning can be disabled.
Add a test case and update documentation.

Patches from git passed into p4 end up with the committer being identified
as the person who ran git-p4.
With "submit --preserve-user", git-p4 modifies the p4 changelist (after it
has been submitted), setting the p4 author field.
The submitter is required to have sufficient p4 permissions or git-p4
refuses to proceed. If the git author is not known to p4, the submit will
be abandoned unless git-p4.allowMissingP4Users is true.

When using the p4 client spec, this attempts to obey the client's
output preferences.
For example, a view like
//depot/foo/branch/... //client/branch/foo/...
//depot/bar/branch/... //client/branch/bar/...
will result in a directory layout in the git tree of
branch/
branch/foo
branch/bar
p4 can do various other reordering that this change doesn't support,
but we should detect it and at least fail nicely.

This patch massages the documentation a bit for improved readability and cleans
it up from outdated options/commands.

I am not entirely clear what these parameters do but felt it
useful to call them out in the documentation.
