Change 4753
Add support for executing commands which prompt the user for input
more than once during their execution. A perfect example is
'p4 password' which prompts the user three times. This works
by allowing P4#input() to take an array argument. Each time
Perforce prompts the user (by calling ClientUserRuby::Prompt()),
the array is shifted by one and the first value in the array
is passed to Perforce. Thus, to change your password a
three-element array is needed comprising of your old password, and
the new password twice.
To make this a little easier on the eye, this change also includes
a thin wrapper called P4#run_password() which takes simply the old
password and the new password and constructs a suitable input
array.
This change also includes docs for the above, and docs for
P4#run_filelog() which were found to be missing.
