[0.50.0] Ships with broken shell scripts

[WeaverThree]

Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

• I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository:

• MegaMek

• MegaMekLab

• MekHQ

• I've tested the issue against at least the latest MILESTONE version

• I've asked on the MegaMek Discord about the error

• I've reviewed the BattleTech rules and MekHQ documentation, and I've confirmed that something isn't working as intended.

• I've searched the Github tracker and haven't found the issue listed

Severity *

High (Major Disruption): A major feature is broken or incorrect, but a workaround exists.

Brief Description *

There are several problems with the shell scripts in the release .tar.gz

These files need the execute flag set:

MegaMek.sh
MegaMekLab.sh
MekHQ.sh
bin/MegaMek
bin/MegaMekLab

(bin/MekHQ was already set correctly)

These files have the wrong line endings

MegaMek.sh
MegaMekLab.sh
MekHQ.sh

Which means they won't run at first but a dos2unix fixes them.

These problems do not exist in the nightly. I'm not sure if that's because someone fixed them or because the nightlies build in a linux environment on github and the release was possibly built on someone's windows computer? That would also explain why the nightly has the duplicate file problem in bin and the release does not, the windows build environment wouldn't allow it to happen.

Steps to Reproduce

Download .tar.gz from megamek website on a linux machien
tar zxvf it
Examine resulting files
