[PATCH v4 3/4] git-p4: Allow branch definition with git config

[Vitor Antunes <vitor.hda@gmail.com>]

Perforce does not strictly require the usage of branch specifications to create
branches. In these cases the branch detection code of git-p4 will not be able to
import them.
This patch adds support for git-p4.branchList configuration option, allowing
branches to be defined in git config.
