[p4] Scripting label creation

[Stephen Vance]

If you're satisfied with some default settings, use the 'p4 tag' command.

Or, if you have a good scripting language at your disposal, just do 
something like

p4 label -o newLabel | editLabelDescription | p4 label -i

to avoid temp files. They haven't added a command line option for the 
description on labels like they have on submit.
