[PATCH] git-p4: Fix multi-path changelist empty commits

From: George Vanburgh <gvanburgh@bloomberg.net>
When importing from multiple perforce paths - we may attempt to import a changelist that contains files from two (or more) of these depot paths. Currently, this results in multiple git commits - one containing the changes, and the other(s) as empty commits. This behavior was introduced in commit 1f90a64 ("git-p4: reduce number of server queries for fetches", 2015-12-19).
Reproduction Steps:
1. Have a git repo cloned from a perforce repo using multiple depot paths (e.g. //depot/foo and //depot/bar).
2. Submit a single change to the perforce repo that makes changes in both //depot/foo and //depot/bar.
3. Run "git p4 sync" to sync the change from #2.
Change is synced as multiple commits, one for each depot path that was affected.
Using a set, instead of a list inside p4ChangesForPaths() ensures that each changelist is unique to the returned list, and therefore only a single commit is generated for each changelist.
