conda 4.4 + zsh: conda:shift:1: shift count must be <= $#

[anntzer]

With conda 4.4.0rc1 and zsh, calling the new conda shell function with no arguments results in

$ conda
conda:shift:1: shift count must be <= $#
usage: conda [-h] [-V] command ...
conda: error: argument command: invalid choice: '' (choose from 'clean', 'config', 'create', 'help', 'info', 'install', 'list', 'package', 'remove', 'uninstall', 'search', 'update', 'upgrade')

It's mostly an esthetic point but it would be nice if the shell error message (shift count) was not shown.

Some related issues:

1. conda nonexistentcommand exits with status 1 but does not print any error message.
2. The changelog recommends putting conda.sh in a profile folder but this usually won't work if the user's terminals are not login shells (as is the default on Linux): nonlogin shells do not read the profile folder and do not inherit functions (even though the environment is inherited. I just sourced conda.sh in my .zshrc (rather than my .zprofile).
