perforce: sync changes into local branch

Administrator requested to merge jc/p4-sync into main

Created by: unknwon

By default, new changes fetched by git p4 sync are synced into refs/remotes/p4/master (as a remote-tracking branch), which makes the local branch refs/heads/master always stay at the same commit when the repository was first created using git p4 clone ....

In our use case, we do not take use of refs/remotes/p4/master but want all changes to be reflected in a local branch (ie. master), and therefore we need explicitly doing do using git p4 sync --branch=refs/heads/master.

Found this problem while working on https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/17682
