Add 2019/adamovsky/try.sh, crash.unl + formatting

The crash.unl is what the judges put in their remarks (and at the end of
the file they say more). It was added so one can see what is meant.
Updated bugs.md for this - INABIAF.

The try.sh script is as usual.

The README.md file has been format/typo checked.

The program does not require any special treatment by compilers. Some warnings

technique. Compilation with `-Weverything` produced many more warnings, but those
