74fd66fcbe Use -- before seq for negative numbers
busybox seq was complaining about the command:

    seq -550 -1

because it was trying to interpret -550 as a flag. Use -- to prevent
this.

3ebfba7f5b Test return builtin doesn't map negative numbers to zero
Prior to 1811a2d, the return value for negative return codes was UB and I'd
witnessed both expected cases like -256 mapping to a $status of 0 and unexpected
cases like a return value of -1 mapping to a $status of 0. As such, this doesn't
test just one fixed return value but the entire range from negative multiples of
256 all the way down (rather, up!) to -1.

Let "return" exit a script (#8148)
Currently, if a "return" is given outside of a function, we'd just
throw an error.

That always struck me as a bit weird, given that scripts can also
return a value.

So simply let "return" outside also exit the script, kinda like "exit"
does.

However, unlike "exit" it doesn't quit an interactive shell - it seems
weird to have "return" do that as well. It sets $status, so it can be
used to quickly set that, in case you want to test something.
