doc: Remove bash -c wrapper
This is not needed in combination with the outer env.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a minor documentation cleanup in Bitcoin Core's CI (continuous integration) README. It removes an unnecessary 'bash -c' wrapper from example shell commands, showing users they can pass environment variables directly to 'env' instead. There is no security-relevant change to the software itself.
No action needed. This is a documentation-only change with no security implications.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies only ci/README.md, replacing two example commands that used ‘env -i … bash -c “VAR=value ./script”’ with equivalent ‘env -i … VAR=value ./script’ forms. The behavior is functionally identical because ‘env’ already sets environment variables for the command it runs. No code, build scripts, or runtime logic is changed.
