#2321: P4Source: support client syntax
------------------------+-----------------------

 [http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/o.fspecs.html
 Perforce path] can be specified in "client syntax". Currently P4Source's
 p4base argument seems to expect "depot syntax".

 Right now, p4base argument is used for two different things: as an
 argument to "p4 changes", and to filter output of "p4 describe". The first
 can be in any syntax, but the second must be in depot syntax since that's
 what Perforce outputs. So if one specifies p4base in client syntax, no
 output matches and no change is added. I think two should be specified by
 two separate arguments, probably with a sensible default.
