[p4] determining p4 settings

[Robert Cowham]

Run the following to show what is active and where it comes from:

P4 set

E.g.

C:\bruno_ws>p4 set
p4client=bruno_ws (config)
P4CONFIG=p4config.txt (set)
p4port=1666 (config)
P4ROOT=c:\data\perforce_depot (set -s)
p4user=bruno (config) 


Shows that most of my values from a P4CONFIG file.
