This value is used to determine CONFIG_SHELL and SHELL which may get exported into scripts shared via sstate onto other systems. Some systems have /bin/sh -> dash and others /bin/sh -> bash. Bash is preferred but sometimes we can sometimes end up exporting /bin/sh yet use bashisms. This patch puts bash first in the search results which avoids the bash/dash confusion.
