download-multi-try now starts with a /bin/bash shebang
Until now, the `download-multi-try' script assumed GNU Bash features (when comparing the number of attempts at downloading), but it didn't explicitly ask the operating system to be run with Bash. As a result, when weaker shells were used (like the default Debian minimalist `dash' shell), the `>' ("larger than" operator in a math context) is interpreted a redirection and two extra files are created: `1' and `maxcount'! With this commit, we now start this script with `/bin/bash'. Ofcourse, this will assume that the host has GNU Bash installed, but we are also making this assumption in the configure script. So atleast for now, Bash (any version) is a critical dependency of this template anyway.
