Add /bin/bash to avoid unnecessary pain

I would argue that what’s exposed in / should be consistent between NixOS and the build environment, which already isn’t the case. Adding more variations only makes these kind of build issues more confusing and difficult to reproduce.

  • nixos /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env
  • builds /bin/sh and no env

A great example of the kind of issues that implicit impurities can introduce git: 2.16.2 -> 2.17.0 by layus · Pull Request #38636 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub.
