The `karate` shell script does not have a shebang line and doesn't work in non POSIX shells such as fish

See original GitHub issue

In fish, for example, the script fails with this error message:

Failed to execute process './karate'. Reason:
exec: Exec format error
The file './karate' is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system.

The file needs a shebang in the first line:

#!/bin/bash

or:

#!/bin/sh

Or an env based alternative.
