Keshav Kini eb84586cad makeself: backport megastep/makeself#142
Currently, a self-extracting archive created by makeself will fail to
properly execute on NixOS because the boilerplate Bash code it uses to
clean up the temporary directory it extracted its contents into
assumes that the `rm` command is installed at `/bin/rm`, which is not
the case on NixOS.

This commit, a backport of a pull request I made to the upstream
repository at megastep/makeself#142, fixes the issue by causing the
boilerplate code to call `rm` without specifying an absolute path,
which allows the version of `rm` from one's current Nix environment to
be used instead.

Subject: [PATCH] Use `rm` from PATH
On NixOS (a Linux distribution), there is no `/bin/rm`, but an `rm`
command will generally be available in one's path when running shell
scripts. Here, I change a couple of invocations of `/bin/rm` into
invocations of `rm` to deal with this issue.
Since `rm` is already called elsewhere in the script without an
absolute path, I assume this change will not cause any
regressions. Still, I've tested this on a CentOS machine and a NixOS
machine, though not other platforms.
