[HADOOP-12915] shelldocs and releasedocmaker build steps do not work correctly on Windows.

Description

In the pom.xml files, the calls to shelldocs and releasedocmaker use the exec-maven-plugin to invoke the scripts directly. On *nix, this works fine in cooperation with the bang lines in the scripts that tell it the script interpreter to use. The bang lines don't work on Windows though. Instead, exec-maven-plugin needs to specify bash as the executable and pass the script as the first argument. Beyond that, there seem to be further as-yet-undiagnosed compatibility issues within the scripts.
