The Perforce client name can contain arbitrary characters
which do not decode to UTF-8. Use the fallback strategy
implemented in metadata_stream_to_writable_bytes() also
for the client name.

git-p4: Fix bug with encoding of P4 client name
Sorry, is this to improve the topic that has already last Monday?
If so, it is way too late to update with a replacement patch, like
this. Instead, please send in a follow-up patch on top of what has
already been merged.
The description above seems to be identical to what was in the
previous round, but the patch seems to use a lot more code, so
such a follow-up patch would have plenty to explain how the new
strategy improves over the previous one.
Thanks.
