Define order of BashOperators

Now that you've learned about the bitshift operators, it's time to modify your workflow to include a pull step and to include the task ordering. You have three currently defined components, cleanup, consolidate, and push_data.

The DAG analytics_dag is available as before and the BashOperator is already imported.
