Subject: [PATCH] t/shelltest.od: another test for ${x#y} behaviour.

If y contains a * character, it's a case-esac style wildcard unless it's in
"" or '', which tells it to match a literal *.  But in dash/busybox, the ''
quoting doesn't actually work, only "" does.

Since there's a workaround - just always use "" quoting - it's not that
fatal.  If the "" quoting doesn't work, then we'll make it fail.
