Doing 'unset -f' on an unset function outputs an error message and
causes an unsuccessful exit status. All other shells quietly ignore it.
POSIX specifies for 'unset' that "Unsetting a variable or function that
was not previously set shall not be considered an error [...]".

If I have figured this out correctly, then the attached patch causes
'unset -f nonexistent_function' to be quiet and return status 0 if
POSIXBUILTINS is active, without changing the behaviour of 'unfunction'
and 'unhash -f'.
