Merge branch 'jk/arith-expansion-coding-guidelines'
The coding guideline for shell scripts instructed to refer to a
variable with dollar-sign inside arithmetic expansion to work

Now we are not forbidden from writing $((var+1)).
* jk/arith-expansion-coding-guidelines:
CodingGuidelines: drop arithmetic expansion advice to use "$x"
