Torsten Bögershausen 7dbe8c8003 check-non-portable-shell.pl: wc -l may have leading WS
Test scripts count number of lines in an output and check it againt
its expectation.  fb3340a6 ("test-lib: introduce test_line_count to
measure files", 2010-10-31) introduced a helper to show a failure in
such a test in a more readable way than comparing `wc -l` output with
a number.

Besides, on some platforms, "$(wc -l <file)" is padded with leading
whitespace on the left, so

	test "$(wc -l <file)" = 4

would not work (most notably on macosX); the users of test_line_count
helper would not suffer from such a portability glitch.

Add a check in check-non-portable-shell.pl to find '"' between
`wc -l` and '=' and hint the user about test_line_count().
