[PATCHv2 2/2] git-p4: fix handling of multi-word P4EDITOR

This teaches git-p4 to pass the P4EDITOR variable to the shell for expansion, so that any command-line arguments are correctly handled. Without this, git-p4 can only launch the editor if P4EDITOR is solely the path to the binary, without any arguments.

This also fixes t9805, which relied on the previous behaviour.
