For bug bug#58509 we need the sync case; for the trampoline fork bomb we
need the don't-do-anything case -- that's two cases, right?

Then the default, normal, NO-OP case is the third, which is pretty
normal practice when doing command line switches like this, so that you
don't have to mogrify the command line arguments when exec-ing and
choosing between the three cases.
