[PATCH 2/2] shellcheck: suppress SC2327,2328 false positives

Shellcheck warnings SC2327,SC2328 complain that a command substitution
will be empty if the output is redirected, which is a valid warning but
shellcheck is not smart enough to see when output is redirected into a
command that outputs what the command substitution wanted.
Add comments and shellcheck directives to these cases.
