Description:
The mysqltest client has a --sleep=N option that
overrides sleep commands in test case files so
that all sleep commands sleep for N seconds.
However, --sleep=0 has no effect.  That is, it does
not cause sleep commands to sleep for 0 seconds.
They are unaffected.

How to repeat:
Invoke mysqltest --sleep=0 and feed it this
input:

sleep 10;

Result:

The sleep command sleeps for 10 seconds, not 0 seconds.

Suggested fix:
Change the default opt_sleep value from 0 to -1 so that
--sleep=0 can be detected properly.  Following patch does
this:

Noted in 5.0.22, 5.1.10 changelogs.

In <command>mysqltest</command>, <option>--sleep=0</option>
had no effect. Now it correctly causes
<literal>sleep</literal> commands in test case files to sleep
for 0 seconds. (Bug #18312)
