Extra patches applied to bash in OE

I reported about a nasty bug in bash, running in EasyOS Dunfell 0.101 and earlier:

https://bkhome.org/news/202012/easyos-dunfell-update-weird-error.html

I recompiled bash in running Easy Dunfell, with patches from Debian, and created a PET, then released Easy 0.102.

However, it needs to be fixed in OpenEmbedded. The bash recipe in OE applies patches 001 to 016, however, I see from here, that 017 and 018 are available:

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.0-patches/

And it looks like 017 fixes the bug. So, in my fork of OE, I have created meta-quirky/recipes-extended/bash/bash_5.0.bbappend:

# BK 20201227 bash compiled in OE has a serious bug:
# https://bkhome.org/news/202012/easyos-dunfell-update-weird-error.html
# it looks like patch #17 will fix it. see list of patches here:
# https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.0-patches/

I have recompiled bash in OE, and will use this in the next release of Easy Dunfell, instead of the PET.
