git-p4: fix error handling in P4Unshelve.renameBranch()

- The error handling code referenced a variable that does not exist.
- Also, the condition could never evaluate to True.
+ The error handling code path is meant to be triggered when the loop does
+ not exit early via "break". This fails, as the boolean variable "found",
+ which is used to track whether the loop was exited early, is initialized
+ incorrectly.
+
+ It would be possible to fix this issue by correcting the initialization,
+ but Python supports a for:-else: control flow construct for this exact
+ use case (executing code if a loop does not exit early), so it is more
+ idiomatic to remove the tracking variable entirely.
+
+ In addition, the error message no longer refers to a variable that does
+ not exist.
