It's been a long time since I looked at the code, but setting
ControlPersist=yes (as opposed to setting it to a time) was intended to
close the connection immediately when the last client disconnected.  I
think it's fine for a timeout of 0 to do the same thing, but others
might be confused by ControlPersist=no and ControlPersist=0 having
different meanings.
