  Using Zsh, it doesn't show an error message when command not found

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In zsh, typing a command that is unknown to command-not-found does not trigger a command not found message, but does nothing. If your command were silent, you might think it was executed.

  [Test case]

  Type a command in zsh that command-not-found does not know about, and
  check there is an error message that says command not found.

  [Regression potential]

  Given that this only affects a cnf handler, any regressions that could
  arise would be confined to that.

  There should not be any regressions, as anything that would regress
  now should have also regressed when zsh itself changed behavior and
  caused this bug.

  [Original bug report]

  - Using latest Ubuntu Bionic, full updated.

  - Using Zsh.

  My ~/.zshrc includes the following line:

    . /etc/zsh_command_not_found

  When I type (for example):

    $ sdlkfjslkdfjkdslf

  it doesn't say nothing. No error message.

  If I change the line #11 of /etc/zsh_command_not_found and I remove
  '--no-failure-msg' option, then it works OK:

    /usr/lib/command-not-found -- ${1+"$1"} && : (line 11, without --no-
  failure-msg option)

  I think the above option should be removed from
  /etc/zsh_command_not_found.
