Subject: [PATCH] rktio: patch rktio_process for "/bin/sh" on Guix

Racket provides the functions `system` and `process`,
which execute shell commands using `sh` (or `cmd` on Windows).
Racket assumes that `sh` can be found at "/bin/sh",
which is not necessarily true on Guix.

This patch adds a special case for "/bin/sh" to `rktio_process`,
the C function that implements the core of `system`, `process`,
and related Racket functions.

If:

    1. The nonstandard but ubiquitous macro `_PATH_BSHELL` from
       <paths.h> is defined; and

    2. `rktio_process` is called with the exact path "/bin/sh"; and

    3. The file specified by `_PATH_BSHELL` exists;

then `rktio_process` will execute the file specified by `_PATH_BSHELL`
instead of "/bin/sh".

Checking that the path specified by `_PATH_BSHELL` exists safeguards
against obscure errors if attempting to use stand-alone executables
built by the patched Racket in non-Guix envoronments.
