git-p4: fix Git LFS pointer parsing

Git LFS 1.2.0 removed a preamble from the output of the 'git lfs pointer'
command [1] which broke the parsing of this output. Adjust the parser
to support the old and the new format.

Please note that this patch slightly changes the second return parameter
from a list of LF terminated strings to a single string that contains
a number of LF characters.
