cp -a, while a common flag isn't in POSIX and will therefore fail
on systems that don't have GNUish tools (like OpenBSD, AIX or Solaris)

The --file option to grep isn't in POSIX[1], but -f is[1]. Let's check
for that in the future, and fix the portability regression in
f237c8b6fe ("commit-graph: implement git-commit-graph write",
2018-04-02) that broke e.g. AIX.

The seq command is not in POSIX, and doesn't exist on
e.g. OpenBSD. We've had the test_seq wrapper since d17cf5f3a3 ("tests:
Introduce test_seq", 2012-08-04), but use of it keeps coming back,
e.g. in the recently added "fetch negotiator" tests being added here.
So let's also add a check to "make test-lint". The regex is aiming to
capture the likes of $(seq ..) and "seq" as a stand-alone command,
without capturing some existing cases where we e.g. have files called
"seq", as \bseq\b would do.

The "head -c BYTES" option is non-portable (not in POSIX[1]). Change
such invocations to use the test_copy_bytes wrapper added in
48860819e8 ("t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement",
2016-06-30).
This fixes a test added in 9d2e330b17 ("ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check
mmap reads", 2018-06-14), which has been breaking
t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh on OpenBSD since 2.18.0. The OpenBSD ports
already have a similar workaround after their upgrade to 2.18.0[2].
I have not tested this on IRIX, but according to 4de0bbd898 ("t9300:
use perl "head -c" clone in place of "dd bs=1 count=16000" kluge",
2010-12-13) this invocation would have broken things there too.
Also, change a valgrind-specific codepath in test-lib.sh to use this
wrapper. Given where valgrind runs I don't think this would ever
become a portability issue in practice, but it's easier to just use
the wrapper than introduce some exception for the "make test-lint"
check being added here.

One-shot environment variable assignments, such as 'FOO' in
"FOO=bar cmd", exist only during the invocation of 'cmd'. However, if
'cmd' happens to be a shell function, then 'FOO' is assigned in the
executing shell itself, and that assignment remains until the process
exits (unless explicitly unset). Since this side-effect of
"FOO=bar shell_func" is unlikely to be intentional, detect and report
such usage.
To distinguish shell functions from other commands, perform a pre-scan
of shell scripts named as input, gleaning a list of function names by
recognizing lines of the form (loosely matching whitespace):
shell_func () {
and later report suspect lines of the form (loosely matching quoted
values):
FOO=bar [BAR=foo ...] shell_func
Also take care to stitch together incomplete lines (those ending with
"\") since suspect invocations may be split over multiple lines:
FOO=bar BAR=foo \
shell_func

Error messages emitted by this linting script are long and noisy,
consisting of several sections:
<test-script>:<line#>: error: <explanation>: <failed-shell-text>
The line of failed shell text, usually coming from within a test body,
is often indented by one or two TABs, with the result that the actual
(important) text is separated from <explanation> by a good deal of empty
space. This can make for a difficult read, especially on typical
80-column terminals.
Make the messages more compact and perhaps a bit easier to digest by
folding out the leading whitespace from <failed-shell-text>.

Many problem explanations ask the reader to "please" use a suggested
alternative, however, such politeness is unnecessary and just adds to
the noise and length of the line, so drop "please" to make the message a
bit more concise.

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().

Some implementations of `echo` support the '-e' option to enable
backslash interpretation of the following string.
As an addition, they support '-E' to turn it off.
However, none of these are portable, POSIX doesn't even mention them,
and many implementations don't support them.
A check for '-n' is already done in check-non-portable-shell.pl,
extend it to cover '-n', '-e' or '-E'.

Instead of anchoring these checks with "^\s*", just check that the
usage is preceded by a word boundary. So now we can catch
test $cond && export foo=bar
just like we already catch
test $cond &&
export foo=bar
As a side effect, this will detect usage of "sed -i", "echo -n", "test
a == b", and "export a=b" in comments. That is not ideal but it's
potentially useful because people sometimes copy code from comments so
it can be good to also avoid nonportable patterns there.
To avoid false positives, keep the checks for 'declare' and 'which'
anchored. Those are frequently used words in normal English-language
comments.

Some shells do not understand the one-line construct, and instead need
FOO=bar &&
export FOO
Detect this in the test-lint target.

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.
