[PATCH 00/13] git-p4: python3 compatibility

This patchset adds python3 compatibility to git-p4.

While some clean-up refactoring would have been nice, I specifically avoided making any major changes to the internal API, aiming to have passing tests with as few changes as possible.

CI results can be seen from this GitHub PR: https://github.com/git/git/pull/673

(As of writing, the CI pipelines are intermittently failing due to reasons that appear unrelated to code. I do have python3 tests passing locally on a Gentoo host.)

Yang Zhao (13):
  ci: also run linux-gcc pipeline with python-3.7 environment
  git-p4: make python-2.7 the oldest supported version
  git-p4: simplify python version detection
  git-p4: decode response from p4 to str for python3
  git-p4: properly encode/decode communication with git for python 3
  git-p4: convert path to unicode before processing them
  git-p4: open .gitp4-usercache.txt in text mode
  git-p4: use marshal format version 2 when sending to p4
  git-p4: fix freezing while waiting for fast-import progress
  git-p4: use functools.reduce instead of reduce
  git-p4: use dict.items() iteration for python3 compatibility
  git-p4: simplify regex pattern generation for parsing diff-tree
  git-p4: use python3's input() everywhere
