Obey p4 views when using client spec
When using the p4 client spec, this attempts to obey the client's
output preferences.
For example, a view like
//depot/foo/branch/... //client/branch/foo/...
//depot/bar/branch/... //client/branch/bar/...
will result in a directory layout in the git tree of
branch/
branch/foo
branch/bar
p4 can do various other reordering that this change doesn't support,
but we should detect it and at least fail nicely.
