Description:
Patch updates the bash package to 5.0.17 and upgrades the checksums from MD5 to SHA256.

Aside from one warning (also present in the current version)...

==> Checking for packaging issues...
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir
usr/lib/bash/Makefile.inc

...the resulting package builds and runs fine.

Additional info:
Bash was flagged as out-of-date a week ago, and there have been mailing list complains[1] about bash lagging behind upstream before the latest update. I would propose that Arch considers resetting the maintainer if the current one is too busy to keep this core package updated.
