Critical P4CHARSET is being translated to P4-{P4CHARSET} so not longer able to use Unicode enabled Perforce Servers.
Reproduction steps:
(1) Create connection to Unicode enabled P4D server.
(2) Create freestyle job.
(3) use drop down to set P4CHARSET to ShiftJis
(4) Execute the job
(5) The error is "*P4-*ShiftJIS" is an invalid character set.
