    We've had code in the tree for a long while to stamp Perforce changes
    with a review request URL, but it had a flaw. It left out a newline,
    causing the first line to read:

    Description:   Here is the first line.
            And here is the second line.
    

    This was due to a missing newline after adding the "Description:" field.

    This change fixes this up, reworks the logic and comments to be a bit
    more clear about the states being kept and the newlines added, and adds
    unit tests.

    It also fixes up the amending portion, which didn't include a changenum
    in the p4 change command (which meant it couldn't amend anything but
    default).

    A timeout is now set for the p4 change command, in case anything fails
    during a hook script. Errors are outputted if anything goes wrong.

    Unit tests passed.

    Tested manually with updates to the trigger script.
