PR #9307 fixed the immediately visible problem (the command that was
added to $HOME/.bashrc was incorrect because of missing quotes around
paths with spaces). However, the modified command is still wrong - it
captures the value of $PATH at the setup time, and the resulting command
written out to $HOME/.bashrc will overwrite $PATH with that captured
value, ignoring any changes in the environment. This may be especially
important for WSL, where the initial value of $PATH in Linux includes
everything which has been added to %PATH% on the Windows side; after
adding that command to $HOME/.bashrc the WSL environment will no longer
pick up any changes made by newly installed Windows software.
Instead of that, use single quotes around the command, so that the
environment variables are not expanded at the setup time, and the
command that is added to $HOME/.bashrc becomes exactly this:
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
This command will use the $HOME and $PATH environment variable values at
the time the command is executed, not at the time the QMK setup is
performed, so any further updates to $PATH are taken into account.
Double quotes also ensure that the command is safe even if the values of
those environment variables contain spaces.

Using just qmk setup <github_username> would fail w/ "Could not find repo github.com/<username>, whereas the repo is actually after another slash after the user name. Can consider changing code to add the default forked repo name if slash is not detected in the arg.
* Recursively clone qmk_firmware repo
Specifically, so that it grabs the submodules, since ARM keyboards are becoming more common, and we are seeing more issues about chibiOS not being downloaded (in the error log, rather than by question)
* Wrap in shell
