git-p4: ensure submit clientPath exists before chdir
Submitting patches back to p4 requires a p4 "client". This
is a mapping from server depot paths into a local directory.
The directory need not exist or be populated with files; only
the mapping on the server is required. When there is no
directory, make git-p4 automatically create it.
