docs: add examples using bash to compare models

examples/bash-comparemodels/README.md

+# Bash Shell examples
+
+When calling `ollama`, you can pass it a file to run all the prompts in the file, one after the other:
+
+`ollama run llama2 < sourcequestions.txt`
+
+This concept is used in the following example.
+
+## Compare Models
+`comparemodels.sh` is a script that runs all the questions in `sourcequestions.txt` using any 4 models you choose that you have already pulled from the Ollama library or have created locally.

examples/bash-comparemodels/comparemodels.sh

+#! /usr/bin/env bash
+# Compare multiple models by running them with the same questions
+
+NUMBEROFCHOICES=4
+SELECTIONS=()
+declare -a SUMS=()
+
+# Get the list of models
+CHOICES=$(ollama list | awk '{print $1}')
+
+# Select which models to run as a comparison
+echo "Select $NUMBEROFCHOICES models to compare:"
+select ITEM in $CHOICES; do
+    if [[ -n $ITEM ]]; then
+        echo "You have selected $ITEM"
+        SELECTIONS+=("$ITEM")
+        ((COUNT++))
