how use bash 5.0 port

[John Chivian]

I have always been too cautious to change the default shell on MacOS to 
anything other than one that is officially provided, especially for the 
root account, even if those shell versions are as old as the hills.   
For scripts and launchd process simply put the #!/path/to/bash5 at the 
top and that's what they run as.  For interactive sessions simply put 
the new bash exec in the PATH and run it first thing after login, 
perhaps even automatically by insertion into default shell startup 
file.  If you really want to change the default you can using the chsh 
command (man chsh), but I've never done so for the root or startup user. 
Too much experience based paranoia I guess.

Just my 2c.
