Description
### Describe the feature
Currently `bash` is required, when building locally.
It would be better if the shell, where the `esbuild` should be run can be chosen.
It would be needed for machines, which don't have `bash` installed.
### Use Case
Especially useful for continuous deployment runners, which don't have `bash` installed.
### Proposed Solution
Seems like `bash` is hardcoded in the Bundling class.
The shell can be made configurable instead or as a quick solution `bash` could be replaced by `/bin/sh`, assuming that `/bin/sh` is available on almoust all linux systems.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the aws-lambda-nodejs Bundling class and trace where the local esbuild shell is selected. Check the existing bundling tests or entry points around that class, then verify that the shell can be chosen or that /bin/sh works for local builds without requiring bash.
