It may be useful to know which shell Git was built to try to point to,
in the event that shell-based Git commands are failing. $SHELL_PATH is
set during the build and used to launch the manpage viewer, as well as
by git-compat-util.h, and it's used during tests. 'git version
--build-options' is encouraged for use in bug reports, so it makes sense
to include this information there.

Hmm, similar nit as for patch 02/15: This could go in as, e.g., 02/15 and
your 01/15 would be 03/15: This patch would be useful even without `git
bugreport`.
