Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 21
### What happened
You used to be able to get support for sh/bash files after installing C++ support, that no longer seems to be the case.
It should've always been part of the base ide, not C++ bundle. Now it seems to be completely gone from the IDE? I tried enabling C++ support but that didn't change anything.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Apache NetBeans 21 on Windows 11 by opening a bash script, then compare the behavior with NetBeans 16 or earlier. Trace how shell-script support was previously provided by the base IDE or C++ support; done means bash files regain the expected support without requiring the C++ bundle.
