During "git p4 clone" if p4 process returns an error from the server,
it will store the message in the 'err' variable. Then it will send a
text command "die-now" to git-fast-import. However, git-fast-import
raises an exception: "fatal: Unsupported command: die-now" and err is
never displayed. This patch ensures that err is shown to the end user.

In git p4, git fast-import fails from die-now command and err (from
Perforce) is not shown
When importing from Perforce using git p4 clone <depot location>,
cloning works fine until Perforce command p4 raises an error. This error
message is stored in err variable then git-fast-import is sent a die-now
command to kill it. An exception is raised fatal: Unsupported command:
die-now.
This patch forces python to call die() with the err message returned
from Perforce.
This commit fixes the root cause of a bug that took me hours to find.
I'm sure many faced the cryptic error and declared that git-p4 is not
working for them.
