Harden the lint-guard shell scanner against silent evasions (closes #121)

The guard test's shell scanner was weaker than its commit message
claimed. Two holes are closed.

shellCode now treats `<<` as a here-document only when it is a real
redirection: outside single and double quotes, followed by a delimiter
word. A `<<` inside a quoted string no longer opens a phantom
here-document that swallows the rest of the file, and a here-document
still open at end of file is a loud error rather than a silent
truncation.

assertLinterIsContainerised now cuts the joined line into the simple
commands the shell would run -- on `;`, `&&`, `||` and `|` -- and
requires the command that names the linter to begin with docker. So
`docker info; golangci-lint run` and `docker info || golangci-lint run`
are rejected, while script/lint-fix's `docker run ... golangci-lint`
still passes.

The scanner comment now names the inherent limits of a text scan.
Dockerfile.lint's citation is corrected from `lll` to `revive`, the
finding the recorded evidence actually named.
