Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: fix bug with encoding of p4 client name

From: "Kilian Kilger via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2022 08:01:00 +0000

From: Kilian Kilger <[email-masked]>

The Perforce client name can contain arbitrary characters
which do not decode to UTF-8. Use the fallback strategy
implemented in metadata_stream_to_writable_bytes() also
for the client name.
