package/bash: indicate getcwd is malloc-supported

When Bash attempts to find the current working directory, it uses a C
library call `getcwd` to resolve it. When cross-compiling, the
configuration process cannot determine if the target system's C library
can support an "unfixed" path length. Therefore, Bash will fallback to a
size of `PATH_MAX` for determining the current working directory. When
using OverlayFS (and possible other file systems), this becomes an issue
since file paths can commonly exceed standard `PATH_MAX` length. This
typically results in the following error appearing:

   error retrieving current directory: [...]

Common C library `getcwd` calls can default to a higher limit (usually
the system's page size). The current configurable C libraries (as of at
least 2015.08) support a zero (0) size buffer length. Most use the
system's page size; musl, being an exception, which defaults to
`PATH_MAX` (as Bash was doing). Since these C libraries support
allocating buffer space with a zero (0) provided size, the following
configuration change allows Bash to support getting a larger-length'ed
working directory on target's that support it.
