Tooling improvement is fine, but let's not sink too much time on
tangents and steal time from *this* patch.

Would the following version (which I munged by hand) be close enough
to what the author would have sent out in the ideal world?  If so,
let's queue it.

Subject: git-p4: honor lfs.storage configuration variable
From: r.burenkov <panzercheg@gmail.com>

"git lfs" allows users to specify the custom storage location by the
configuration variable `lfs.storage`, but when "git p4" interacts with
GitLFS pointers, it always uses the hardcoded default that is the
`.git/lfs/` directory, without paying attention to the configuration.

Use the value configured in `lfs.storage`, if exists, as all the
"git" operations do, for consistency.
