Only bash 4+ works in setup.sh. To make sure this is obvious, we can
check BASH_VERSINFO to get the major version number of Bash.

While Bash 3 is pretty rare, it still comes stock in macOS.

We could provide a warning here for non-Bash shells, but it’s not
always clear whether they will work or not. Zsh should have no trouble
while busybox sh, fish, or any others. There’s no great way to detect
what feature set the shell supports.

Fixes #71625

@worldofpeace Sorry for the delay! I've updated with your wording. Should be ready to merge, but I'll defer to someone else as this isn't exactly critical.
