Add the perl script "check-non-portable-shell.pl" to detect
non-portable shell syntax.
"echo -n" is an example of a shell command working on Linux, but not
on Mac OS X.
These shell commands are checked and reported as error:
- "echo -n" (printf should be used)
- "sed -i" (GNUism; use a temp file instead)
- "declare" (bashism, often used with arrays)
- "which" (unreliable exit status and output; use type instead)
- "test a == b" (bashism for "test a = b")
"make test-lint-shell-syntax" can be used to run only the check.
