Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
* bk/p4-misc-usability:
git-p4: show detailed help when parsing options fail
git-p4: yes/no prompts should sanitize user text
When a user provides invalid parameters to git-p4, the program
reports the failure but does not provide the correct command syntax.
Add an exception handler to the command-line argument parser to display
the command's specific command line parameter syntax when an exception
is thrown. Rethrow the exception so the current behavior is retained.

When prompting the user interactively for direction, the tests are
not forgiving of user input format.
For example, the first query asks for a yes/no response. If the user
enters the full word "yes" or "no" or enters a capital "Y" the test
will fail.
Create a new function, prompt(prompt_text) where
* prompt_text is the text prompt for the user
* returns a single character where valid return values are
found by inspecting prompt_text for single characters
surrounded by square brackets
This new function must prompt the user for input and sanitize it by
converting the response to a lower case string, trimming leading and
trailing spaces, and checking if the first character is in the list
of choices. If it is, return the first letter.
Change the current references to raw_input() to use this new function.
Since the method requires the returned text to be one of the available
choices, remove the loop from the calling code that handles response
verification.

"git lfs" allows users to specify the custom storage location with
the configuration variable `lfs.storage`, but when interacting with
GitLFS pointers, "git p4" always uses the hardcoded default that is
the `.git/lfs/` directory, without paying attention to the
configuration.
Use the value configured in `lfs.storage`, if exists, as all the
"git" operations do, for consistency.

(git-p4.largeFileCompressedThreshold) comparisons.
Take new approach using the NamedTemporaryFile()
file-like object as input to the ZipFile() which
auto-deletes after implicit close leaving with scope.
Original code had double-open exception on Windows
platform because file still open from NamedTemporaryFile()
using generated filename instead of object.

* mm/p4-unshelve-windows-fix:
p4 unshelve: fix "Not a valid object name HEAD0" on Windows
git p4 unshelve was failing with these errors:
fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD0
Command failed: git cat-file commit HEAD^0
(git version 2.21.0.windows.1, python 2.7.16)
The pOpen call used by git-p4 to invoke the git command can take either a
string or an array as a first argument. The array form is preferred
because platform-specific escaping of special characters will be
handled automatically.(https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html)
The extractLogMessageFromGitCommit method was, however, using the string
form and so the caret (^) character in the HEAD^0 argument was not being
escaped on Windows. The caret happens to be the escape character, which
is why the git command was receiving HEAD0.
The behaviour can be confirmed by typing ECHO HEAD^0 at the command-
prompt, which emits HEAD0.
The solution is simply to use the array format of passing the command to
fOpen, which is recommended and used in other parts of this code anyway.

When unshelving a changelist, git-p4 tries to work out the appropriate
parent commit in a given branch (default: HEAD). To do this, it looks
at the state of any pre-existing files in the target Perforce branch,
omitting files added in the shelved changelist. Currently, only files
added (or move targets) are classed as new. However, files integrated
from other branches (i.e. a 'branch' action) also need to be considered
as added, for this purpose.

git-p4 knows how to handle case insensitivity in file paths
if core.ignorecase is set.
However, when determining a branch for a file,
it still does a case-sensitive prefix match.
This may result in some file changes to be lost on import.
For example, given the following commits
1. add //depot/main/file1
2. add //depot/DirA/file2
3. add //depot/dira/file3
4. add //depot/DirA/file4
and "branchList = main:DirA" branch mapping,
commit 3 will be lost.
So, do branch search case insensitively if running with core.ignorecase set.
Teach splitFilesIntoBranches() to use the p4PathStartsWith() function
for path prefix matches instead of always case-sensitive match.

The previous git-p4 unshelve support would check for changes
in Perforce to the files being unshelved since the original
shelve, and would complain if any were found.
This was to ensure that the user wouldn't end up with both the
shelved change delta, and some deltas from other changes in their
git commit.
e.g. given fileA:
the
quick
brown
fox
change1: s/the/The/ <- p4 shelve this change
change2: s/fox/Fox/ <- p4 submit this change
git p4 unshelve 1 <- FAIL
This change teaches the P4Unshelve class to always create a parent
commit which matches the P4 tree (for the files being unshelved) at
the point prior to the P4 shelve being created (which is reported
in the p4 description for a shelved changelist).
That then means git-p4 can always create a git commit matching the
P4 shelve that was originally created, without any extra deltas.
The user might still need to use the --origin option though - there
is no way for git-p4 to work out the versions of all of the other
*unchanged* files in the shelve, since this information is not recorded
by Perforce.
Additionally this fixes handling of shelved 'move' operations.

"git p4" updates.
* ld/git-p4-updates:
git-p4: auto-size the block
git-p4: narrow the scope of exceptions caught when parsing an int
git-p4: raise exceptions from p4CmdList based on error from p4 server
git-p4: better error reporting when p4 fails
git-p4: add option to disable syncing of p4/master with p4
git-p4: disable-rebase: allow setting this via configuration
git-p4: add options --commit and --disable-rebase
git-p4 originally would fetch changes in one query. On large repos this
could fail because of the limits that Perforce imposes on the number of
items returned and the number of queries in the database.
To fix this, git-p4 learned to query changes in blocks of 512 changes,
However, this can be very slow - if you have a few million changes,
with each chunk taking about a second, it can be an hour or so.
Although it's possible to tune this value manually with the
"--changes-block-size" option, it's far from obvious to ordinary users
that this is what needs doing.
This change alters the block size dynamically by looking for the
specific error messages returned from the Perforce server, and reducing
the block size if the error is seen, either to the limit reported by the
server, or to half the current block size.
That means we can start out with a very large block size, and then let
it automatically drop down to a value that works without error, while
still failing correctly if some other error occurs.

This change lays some groundwork for better handling of rowcount errors
from the server, where it fails to send us results because we requested
too many.
It adds an option to p4CmdList() to return errors as a Python exception.
The exceptions are derived from P4Exception (something went wrong),
P4ServerException (the server sent us an error code) and
P4RequestSizeException (we requested too many rows/results from the
server database).
This makes the code that handles the errors a bit easier.

This can be used to "unshelve" a shelved P4 commit into
a git commit.
For example:
$ git p4 unshelve 12345
The resulting commit ends up in the branch:
refs/remotes/p4/unshelved/12345
If that branch already exists, it is renamed - for example
the above branch would be saved as p4/unshelved/12345.1.
git-p4 checks that the shelved changelist is based on files
which are at the same Perforce revision as the origin branch
being used for the unshelve (HEAD by default). If they are not,
it will refuse to unshelve. This is to ensure that the unshelved
change does not contain other changes mixed-in.
The reference branch can be changed manually with the "--origin"
option.
The change adds a new Unshelve command class. This just runs the
existing P4Sync code tweaked to handle a shelved changelist.

git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files

When running git-p4 on Windows, with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries in

Reproduction Steps:
1. Add multiple git-p4.mapUser entries to git config on a Windows
machine
2. Attempt to clone a p4 repository
None of the user mappings will be applied.
This issue is actually caused by gitConfigList, using split(os.linesep)
to convert the output of git config --get-all into a list. On Windows,
os.linesep is equal to '\r\n' - however git.exe returns configuration
with a line seperator of '\n'.
This leads to the list returned by gitConfigList containing only one
element - which contains the full output of git config --get-all in
string form, which causes problems for the code introduced to
