contrib: don't hardcode path to bash interpreter

Use the env binary to figure out the correct bash to use.
Certain systems ships with an ancient version of bash, but the
user might have installed a newer one that is earlier in $PATH.

For example the current version of Mac OS X ships version 3.2.51
of bash, which does not understand new fancy builtins such as
readarray. A user might install a newer version of bash, use that
as their shell and add that path before bin.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
