Remove sleep 0 Linux kernel bug work-around (#86420)

Browse Source 
The ``ActionBase._low_level_execute_command`` method no longer adds ``&& sleep 0`` to commands.
This was a work-around for a 10+ year old Linux kernel bug affecting OpenSSH.
By August of 2016 the fix had been included in kernel versions 4.1.26, 4.4.12, 4.5.6, 4.6.1 and 4.7.
