[PATCH] git-p4: Fix ocasional test failures in kill_p4d

[Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org>]

Running the git-p4 unit tests, I notice that the 'kill_p4d' test
occasionally fails. This just terminates the p4d server, so in
theory it should always succeed. The problem is especially
noticeable when running multiple tests in parallel:

    $ make -C t T=t98*.sh -j50

That's annoying, as it makes it harder to test changes to git-p4.

It looks like p4d is sensitive to being killed ungracefully.
Experimentally, I find that starting it with journalling disabled,
and using 'p4 admin stop' rather than kill(1) makes the process much
more reliable; I no longer see the intermittent failures.
