Pretty straightforward testcase:

zarel@Phenylalanine ~> mocha -h

  Usage: mocha [debug] [options] [files]

  [...]

zarel@Phenylalanine ~> mkdir test
zarel@Phenylalanine ~> echo "test" > test/mocha.opts
zarel@Phenylalanine ~> mocha -h
No test files found

In other words, if test/mocha.opts exists, mocha -h won't display help.

Make sure mocha -h consistently shows help

Previously, having options in `test/mocha.opts` would add those to `process.argv` to be passed to `program.parse`, which would make it stop showing help.

Fixes mochajs#2745

There is a pull request for a fix. The only reason it hasn't been merged yet is because Node 0.10 doesn't support the method used to test it.
