build-system/gnu: Avoid using /bin/sh.
* guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm (configure): Add `inputs' keyword parameter. Take Bash from there, falling back to /bin/sh. Set `CONFIG_SHELL' and `SHELL' to that Bash. Run "bash ./configure" instead of just "./configure". * distro/packages/bootstrap.scm (%bootstrap-inputs): Add "bash". * distro/packages/base.scm (gcc-boot0-wrapped): Use "bash" from %BOOT1-INPUTS instead of /bin/sh.
