[p4] Getting the next valid changelist number

[Jeff Grills]

There's no way that I can think of.  The best I think you could do is "p4
counter change", but that will give you the current changelist and you'd
have to add 1 to that number.  I have to ask, though, why would you want to
know such a thing?  Perforce server multiple users at the same time, so
there's guarantee that you're going to get that changelist number - someone
else could create that changelist between the time you poll the counter and
the time you try to create it yourself.
