pasta: More general way of starting spawned shell as a login shell

When invoked so as to spawn a shell, pasta checks explicitly for the
shell being bash and if so, adds a "-l" option to make it a login shell.
This is not ideal, since this is a bash specific option and requires pasta
to know about specific shell variants.

There's a general convention for starting a login shell, which is to
prepend a "-" to argv[0].  Use this approach instead, so we don't need bash
specific logic.
