Re: [PATCH v4 08/15] bugreport: include user interactive shell

It's possible a user may complain about the way that Git interacts with
their interactive shell, e.g. autocompletion or shell prompt. In that
case, it's useful for us to know which shell they're using
interactively.

$SHELL isn't set by every shell, but getenv() returns NULL in the
event the variable isn't found, so we'll see a line like "$SHELL:
(null)" to tell us that variable wasn't set.
Do not depend on vsnprintf() from glibc that accepts NULL and shows
"(null)".  You can segfault on systems without glibc that way.
