In particular when we cannot figure out a uid for the current user, we
should still respect the `db_home: env` setting. Such a situation occurs
for example when the domain returned by `LookupAccountSid()` is not our
machine name and at the same time our machine is no domain member: In
that case, we have nobody to ask for the POSIX offset necessary to come
up with the uid.
It is important that even in such cases, the `HOME` environment variable
can be used to override the home directory, e.g. when Git for Windows is
used by an account that was generated on the fly, e.g. for transient use
in a cloud scenario.
