fix: Allow portable bash paths for systems including NixOS (#23889)
Although very common, bash is not guaranteed to be located at
`/bin/bash`. NixOS is an example of this.

More commonly, `/bin/bash` can be quite out of date. An example of this
is MacOS's version of `bash`. This realistically won't affect Playwright
but it's worth noting. You can technically update MacOS's system version
of bash but you need elevated permissions to do so.

By using `/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `/bin/bash` we can execute
Playwright's bash scripts in like NixOS and generally improve the
selection behaviour for bash in other systems too.

Some discussion of why it's worth favouring `/usr/bin/env bash` over
`/bin/bash`:
- Discusses `/bin/bash` missing in NixOS:

- Some general commentary on why `/usr/bin/env bash` is favoured:

- Points out how old bash is in MacOS:
