Now that I look at it, there are several places that are depending on
getenv("HOME") or getenv("USERPROFILE") (on Windows) as the meaning of
"home directory". In particular ~/.pgpass is sought there, and psql
also uses get_home_path in a lot of places.
Seems like we should be consistent about this --- either we trust $HOME
or we don't.
