[PATCH 2/6] git p4: handle servers without move support

From

Support for the "p4 move" command was added in 8e9497c (git p4: add support for 'p4 move' in P4Submit, 2012-07-12), which checks to make sure that the client and server support the command.

But older versions of p4d may not handle the "-k" argument, and newer p4d allow disabling "p4 move" with a configuration setting. Check for both these cases by testing a p4 move command on bogus filenames and looking for strings in the error messages.
