#21072: CRON often returns ambiguous values

 Many of the cron API functions return ambiguous values.  For example,
 `wp_cron()` [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.4/wp-
 includes/cron.php#L251 returns] `null` (explicitly) when cron doesn't run,
 but it also returns `null` (implicitly) every other time.  This can make
 debugging harder.

 Whenever possible, I think it's valuable to return meaningful values.  The
 attached patch does that.
