Fix script in 1990/jaw

Now the files added to the archive will be extracted. It is unfortunate
but a temporary tarball has to be formed rather than writing to stdout.
There is a possible fix to this but it hasn't been looked into yet. The
tarball is temporary, however, and is deleted after it is extracted. The
script MUST be run from a subdirectory of the entry but as the script
had hardcoded the paths before this shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Another problem was more to do with paths and also the script relying on
the exit code allowing for &&. Now it's ';' between most commands.

There still remains, Landon and I believe, a bug in the entry and this
has been added to the bugs.md file; the script not working has been
removed from the bugs.md.

## [1990/jaw](1990/jaw/jaw.c) ([README.md](1990/jaw/README.md]))
Cody fixed the script to work properly in modern environments (to do with `$PATH`
not having `.` in it). Other adjustments were made as well.
Cody fixed the script to work properly in modern environments including paths,
writing to and extracting from stdout, (to do with `$PATH`
not having `.` in it) and relying on the exit code in the commands to allow for
`&& ...`.
He also changed the `perror(3)` call to `fprintf(3)` because in macOS when errno
is 0 it shows what looks like an error.
He added the [try.sh](1990/jaw/try.sh) to run the commands that we suggested at
the time. However, there is a known bug still, see [bugs.md](bugs.md) for
details.

NOTE: as `btoa` is not common we used a ruby script from Yusuke.
