In most cases used printf %s ... instead.

echo -n > file  lines to create empty / truncate files were
changed to : > file lines, like done in in test-lib-emacs.sh

And one echo -n "  " just merged to echo in previous line.

Most of the changes went to release-checks.sh -- the one
I've mostly written ;/

For anyone interested, dash printf "\xEF\x0D\x0A" would not work
as expected (it can only output octal escapes). Initially I had
that as printf %s $'\xEF\x0D\x0A' but it is as less portable
(and it was hard to explain in commit message).
