Bug description:
  Mahara: 16.04.2
  DB: Postgres
  OS: Linux

  There is a bug with the LDAP sync when it is suspending users:
  htdocs/auth/ldap/cli/sync_users.php

  The user that is running the cron LDAP sync job is 'root' - has an ID
  of 0.

  Mahara updates the suspended user record with the userid that is doing
  the suspending (i.e. suspendedcusr = 0).

  When validating if a user record is suspended, we check if the
  suspending user id is empty. Because the suspending user ID is '0', it
  thinks that to the suspended user is not suspended - when they should
  be suspended.
