This is an updated version of the earlier P4EDITOR multi-word shell
expansion fix. It updates test 9805 to match the new behavior (the
other tests also all pass).

I still haven't incorporated Junio's fix for the Windows platform;
that's next (once I've figured out how to build git on that platform).

Thanks
Luke

Add test case that git-p4 handles a setting of P4EDITOR
that takes arguments, e.g. "gvim -f"

Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] git-p4: fix handling of multi-word P4EDITOR
Message-ID: <1431502575-2176-3-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1431502575-2176-3-git-send-email-luke%40diamand.org
In-Reply-To: <1431502575-2176-1-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>

```
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.

Thanks, will replace.

But with a couple of minor tweaks.

 - s/touch/: >/ in the test added by 1/2
 - s/fixes t9850/adjusts t9805/ in the log message of 2/2

```
