[p4] Revert a changelist

[Robert Cowham]

In principle you are correct, without the obliterate someone has to remember
outside Perforce that the integration should be redone (in which case an
integ -f would do it).

Not a nice situation, and also one that I would not attempt to make *too*
easy for users - i.e. I would encourage them to think and test before
submitting an integrate, rather than just promising them an easy fix
afterwards if they get it wrong.

In some ways it would be nice if Perforce offered an option to do an
integrate which "undid" a previous integrate - didn't change the contents of
files but removed the integrate records.

We can always suggest to support...
