git-p4: avoid crash adding symlinked directory

When submitting to P4, if git-p4 came across a symlinked
directory, then during the generation of the submit diff, it would
try to open it as a normal file and fail.

Spot symlinks (of any type) and output a description of the symlink
instead.

Add a test case.
