Follow up patch for a9e38359 (git-p4: add config git-p4.pathEncoding,
2015-09-03) which is already on 'next'.

diff to v1 (wrongly called v7 in "[PATCH v7] git-p4: add config git-p4.pathEncoding")
* make path encoding for utf-8 default case more explicit (thanks Junio!)
* improve commit message (thanks Luke!)

Cheers,
Lars

If a path with non-ASCII characters is detected then print the
encoding and the encoded string in verbose mode.
