Bash updated with patched tarball (version 5.0.7)

Until now we were using the official tarball of GNU Bash. However, Bash is
distributed using patches, not a public version controlled history. So to
implement newer features of Bash, its necessary to apply those patches and
make the tarball ourselves.

With this commit, we have done just that: we used the 7 patches that have
been released since version 5.0.0 and made a tarball to use for this
template. The instructions on how to make the patched tarball are also
given above the Bash build rule.
