[PATCH v1 1/1] check-non-portable-shell.pl: Quoted `wc -l` is not portable

[tboegi@web.de]

From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de>

wc -l is used to count the number if lines in test scripts.
$ wc -l Makefile
gives a line like this:
105 Makefile
while Mac OS has 4 leading spaces:
     105 Makefile

And this means that shell expressions like
test "$(wc -l <expect)" = "4" don't work under Mac OS,

A portable way to use `wc -l` is to omit the '"':
test $(wc -l <expect) = "4"

Add a check in check-non-portable-shell.pl to find '"' between
`wc -l` and '='
