In chat we often saw that people copy-pasted the "amd64" flavour while they needed another one. Here we make it a generic placeholder which should make accidental copy-pasting of this command happen less. The example code is still there, but in comment and I changed it to amd64-musl bc that looks less generic than amd64. (So again, hopefully people will be less inclined to blindly copy-paste.) If another example is preferred, do let me know, it's easily changed.

We also had one case of someone who got errors because the SHELL variable wasn't set. This is the case for Alpine. Here I added a line to fill it in when not set.
