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.
