Description

The Perforce support has been around for a very long time, and there
were some warts and unused code that never got cleaned up.

This change removes some methods and parameters that weren't needed
anymore, rearranges some functions, removes unnecessary code, converts a
static method into a normal method, and adds documentation throughout
the file. It sets the stage for future work in this file.

Testing Done

Unit tests and real-world functionality work.

Built the docs (temporarily adding this file to the docs build -- it's
not by default) and made sure the docs were correct.

This isn't really correct. While there is a yield in here, that's used by @contextmanager. The contextmanager wrapper will return a context manager, which isn't really a type in and of itself, but I think could be documented as object.

Yeah I wasn't sure how we really want to document these. I feel like maybe a better option is to invent a Context: section, but napolean won't know it.

I have a change coming up that will let us define a Context: section, which is probably going to be more clear for anyone reading the docs, given the nature of the function.

Change Summary:


Updated to use Context instead of Yields. This will be available as part of a set of extensions to Sphinx that are being worked on (but renders fine even without them).
Made connect and run_worker public.
Improved the docs a bit for connect and run_worker.
