sf apex run test --wait allows value -1 but does not respect it

[alan-morey]

Summary

The command sf apex run test allows specifying a --wait flag value as -1, however, this value seems to be ignored and the command exits and returns after the default 1 minute wait time instead.

Previously, with sfdx force:apex:test:run the value -1 was allowed and was treated as wait indefinitely.

Steps To Reproduce:

1.  sf apex run test -l RunLocalTest --wait -1
   

Expected result

Command should wait until all tests have finished execution and display test results.

Alternatively, if -1 is no longer a supported value for the --wait flag the command should return an error for that flag detailing the allowed range of values, in similar fashion to sf project deploy start --wait

Actual result

Run "sf apex get test -i 7078F00000oJGyP -o [email protected]" to retrieve test results

I didn't see any documentation about -1, so we'll put a better error on the flag to make it clearer.

You can use some very large number to mean "indefinitely" if you need that.
