sysdir: provide actual home directory

Provide a mechanism to look up the user's home directory, using the same
mechanism that we use for locating the global configuration path (a
fancy name for saying "the home directory").

SSH known hosts lookups now use this, instead of simply looking at the
HOME environment variable, to support Windows-style home directory
lookups in `HOME`, `HOMEPATH`, or `USERPROFILE`.
