One of the filetypes that p4 supports is utf16. Its behavior is
odd in this case. The data delivered through "p4 -G print" is
not encoded in utf16, although "p4 print -o" will produce the
proper utf16-encoded file.
When dealing with this filetype, discard the data from -G, and
instead read the contents directly.
An alternate approach would be to try to encode the data in
python. That worked for true utf16 files, but for other files
marked as utf16, p4 delivers mangled text in no recognizable encoding.
Add a test case to check utf16 handling, and +k and +ko handling.
