Public bug reported:

Proposing to apply the four upstream changes to the bash package for
xenial, plus the addition to the PATH variable.

  * Apply upstream patches 043 - 046. Fixes:
    - When the lastpipe option is enabled, the last component can contain
      nested pipelines and cause a segmentation fault under
      certain circumstances.
    - A typo prevents the `compat42' shopt option from working as intended.
    - If a file open attempted as part of a redirection fails because it is
      interrupted by a signal, the shell needs to process any pending traps
      to allow the redirection to be canceled.
    - An incorrect conversion from an indexed to associative array can result
      in a core dump.
  * Add $HOME/.local/bin to PATH, and add the user's home directories
    unconditionally to the path, so that they are available without
    a new login. Closes: #820856, LP: #1588562.

The rationale for the PATH change is explained in LP: #1588562.

Verification: The package builds, passes it's tests, and for new users
you'll find $HOME/.local/bin in PATH.
