git-p4: add support for large file systems

Perforce repositories can contain large (binary) files. Migrating these
repositories to Git generates very large local clones. External storage
systems such as Git LFS [1], Git Fat [2], Git Media [3], git-annex [4]
try to address this problem.

Add a generic mechanism to detect large files based on extension,
uncompressed size, and/or compressed size.
