[PATCH 10/11] git-p4: test and document --use-client-spec

The depot path is required, even with this option. Make sure git-p4 fails and exits with non-zero.

Contents in the specified depot path will be rearranged according to the client spec. Test this and add a note in the docs.

Leave an XXX suggesting that this is somewhat confusing behavior that might be good to fix later.

Function stripRepoPath() looks at self.useClientSpec. Make sure this is set both for command-line option --use-client-spec and for configuration variable git-p4.useClientSpec. Test this.
