Log:
we don't need bash for cacerts shell scripts

Actually, when I wrote the cacerts shell scripts I intended for them to
be bash specific.  What do we gain by not using bash here?

Probably because /bin/sh is variable symlink and not everyone wants bash
(bloat, probably).

(One does not simply understand minimalists).

We have bash as a part of LFS and bash is assumed available for all of BLFS. We make an exception for boot scripts, but this is not a boot script.

By specifying /bin/bash explicitly we are (were) removing the /bin/sh variable symlink.

Note also that the /etc/profile scripts are bash specific. I do not want those changed.
