test-lint: echo -e (or -E) is not portable

tboegi · gitster · commit 1a6d46895d30 · 2017-09-21T10:13:47.000+09:00
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'.
