What steps will reproduce the bug?

bash-language-server makes shellcheck's directive for shell not working because of this:

bash-language-server/server/src/shellcheck/index.ts

Lines 122 to 128 in 39abef9

	const args = [
	`--shell=${shellName}`,
	'--format=json1',
	'--external-sources',
	...sourcePathsArgs,
	...additionalArgs,
	]

For example, shellcheck will not report any errors for this script:

#!/bin/sh
# shellcheck shell=bash
echo -e "test"

But shellcheck --shell test.sh will produce:

$ shellcheck --shell sh test.sh
In test.sh line 3:
echo -e "test"
     ^-- SC3037 (warning): In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Every time.

What is the expected behavior?

shellcheck's directive for shell will work fine, whether it's defined in .shellcheckrc or in a script.

What do you see instead?

shellcheck's directive for shell is not working.
