git-p4: fix multi-path changelist empty commitsgv/p4-multi-path-commit-fix

When importing from multiple perforce paths - we may attempt to
import a changelist that contains files from two (or more) of these
depot paths. Currently, this results in multiple git commits - one
containing the changes, and the other(s) as empty commit(s). This
behavior was introduced in commit 1f90a64891 ("git-p4: reduce number
of server queries for fetches", 2015-12-19).

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Have a git repo cloned from a perforce repo using multiple
     depot paths (e.g. //depot/foo and //depot/bar).

  2. Submit a single change to the perforce repo that makes changes
     in both //depot/foo and //depot/bar.

  3. Run "git p4 sync" to sync the change from #2.

Change is synced as multiple commits, one for each depot path that
was affected.

Using a set, instead of a list inside p4ChangesForPaths() ensures
that each changelist is unique to the returned list, and therefore
only a single commit is generated for each changelist.
