Issue: Using git-p4.py on Windows does not resolve properly to the p4.exe
binary in all instances.
Two new code features are added to resolve the p4 executable location:
1. A new variable, git-p4.binary, has been added that takes precedence over
the default p4 executable name. If this git option is set and the
path.exists() passes for this file it will be used as executable for the
system.popen calls.
2. If the new variable git-p4.binary is not set, the program checks if the
operating system is Windows. If it is, the executable is changed to
'p4.exe'. All other operating systems
(those that do not report 'Windows' in the platform.system() call)
continue to use the current executable of 'p4'.

Cast byte strings to unicode strings in python3
Added general variable git-p4.binary and added a default for windows
of 'P4.EXE'
