[PATCH v2] t6423-merge-rename-directories.sh: use the $(...) construct

From

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
	shellcheck -i SC2006 -f diff ${_f} | ifne git apply -p2
done
and then carefully proof-read.
