aws-patch v1.6.1

Fixed

• .github/workflows/release.yml's "Run test suite" and "Build .deb and
  .rpm packages" steps invoked ./tests/run_tests.sh and
  ./scripts/build-packages.sh directly, which depend on the
  executable bit surviving into the GitHub Actions checkout. On the
  first real run this failed with Permission denied (exit 126) --
  the bit hadn't survived however the repository's history was
  populated. Fixed by invoking both via explicit bash <script> instead
  of direct execution, which only requires the file to be readable, plus
  an added chmod +x step as defense in depth. Also hardened
  tests/run_tests.sh itself: it previously invoked aws-patch.sh
  directly in several places ("${REPO_ROOT}/aws-patch.sh" --version,
  etc.), which would hit the identical failure mode in any checkout
  missing the bit; switched to bash "${REPO_ROOT}/aws-patch.sh"
  throughout. Verified by stripping every executable bit in the repo
  and confirming bash tests/run_tests.sh still passes all 51 tests.
