Denys Vlasenko 6bdfbc4cb5 libbb: fix '--help' handling in FEATURE_SH_NOFORK=y
Most BusyBox applets respond to the '--help' option by printing
a usage message.  This is normally handled by busybox_main() so
applet main routines don't have support for '--help'.

In standalone shell mode with FEATURE_SH_NOFORK enabled nofork
applets are invoked directly, bypassing busybox_main().  This
results in inconsistent handling of '--help':

- applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'"
  and print help anyway;

- realpath says "--help: No such file or directory" and doesn't
  print help;

- usleep says "invalid number '--help'" and doesn't print help.

Avoid inconsistency by checking for '--help' in run_nofork_applet().

Bug found by Ron Yorston.
