Subject: CodingGuidelines: drop arithmetic expansion advice to use "$x"

The advice to use "$x" rather than "x" in arithmetric expansion was
working around a dash bug fixed in 0.5.4. Even Debian oldstable has
0.5.7 these days.
that would be oldoldstable, oldstable is actually in 0.5.8 ;)
Oh, you're right. I forgot they're doing an extra layer these days. It
will officially become obsolete in less than 2 months. :)
Thanks, both.  I'll just do s/0.5.7/0.5.8/ when I add Carlo's
reviewed-by to queue the patch.
