Regression from 8bddc3d ("Fix early removal of rc-file for nix-shell"). The removal of BASH_ENV causes nothing to be executed by bash if it detects itself in a non-interactive context. Instead, just use the same condition used by bash to launch bash differently. According to bash sources, the condition (stdin and stder both must be TTYs) is specified by POSIX so this should be pretty safe to rely on. Fixes NixOS#1171 on 1.11.
