[bash,zsh] Work around Solaris awk, which is non-standard

Solaris awk at /usr/bin/awk is meant for backward compatibility with
an ancient implementation of 1977 awk in the original UNIX.  It lacks
many features of POSIX awk.  To use a standard-conforming version in
Solaris, one needs to explicitly use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
