git-p4: Allow filtering Perforce branches by user
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.
