update quick-install.sh

* Made compatible with any posix shell
* Moved command running into a run_cmd function
* run_cmd will check the userid and if it's not 0/root, then it will run the command with sudo
* This fixes the issue that the script previously would fail for a root user who doesn't have sudo installed and that it's simply unnecessary to run sudo for root user
* Moved all commands out of the apt_fast_installation funtion as the function isn't really necessary.

perf: speed up (>3x) get_uris, display_downloadfile with bash builtin (#239)

While downloading is relatively faster than the vanilla APT, the
overhead of parsing notably slows apt-fast down before it can start
downloading. This is because the massive usage of utilities causes bash
to spawn processes frequently, which is very expensive.

The performance hot spots of apt-fast are get_uris() and
display_downloadfile(). The patch replaces some utilities' usage in
these functions with bash builtins to eliminate the extra overhead. My
brief test (with default /etc/apt-fast.conf) shows the overall parsing
performance is >3x faster than before.
