* ssh(1): refuse attempts to set ConnectionAttempts=0, which does
not make sense and would cause ssh to print an uninitialised stack
variable. bz#2500
When using connection multiplexing, I sometimes set ConnectionAttempts
to 0 in order to avoid opening a new connection when the remote side
refuses to create new sessions after the top defined by MaxSessions is
reached.
Having a way to avoid that fall-back behavior is important when writing
automation scripts. Otherwise, authentication prompts may appear at any
time, and scripts would have to cope with it.
