selftests/exec: Perform script checks with /bin/bash

It seems some shells linked to /bin/sh don't have consistent behavior
with error codes on execution failures. Explicitly use /bin/bash so that
"not found" errors are correctly generated. Repeating the comment from
the test:

/*
 * Execute as a long pathname relative to "/".  If this is a script,
 * the interpreter will launch but fail to open the script because its
 * name ("/dev/fd/5/xxx....") is bigger than PATH_MAX.
 *
 * The failure code is usually 127 (POSIX: "If a command is not found,
 * the exit status shall be 127."), but some systems give 126 (POSIX:
 * "If the command name is found, but it is not an executable utility,
 * the exit status shall be 126."), so allow either.
