In the very early code path where `dll_crt0_1 ()` calls
`user_shared->initialize ()`, the Cygwin runtime calls `internal_pwsid ()`
to initialize the user name in preparation for reading the `fstab` file.
In case `db_home: env` is defined in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, we need to
look at the environment
The account under which Azure Web Apps run is an IIS APPOOL account that
is generated on the fly.
These are special because the virtual machines on which thes Apps run
are not domain-joined, yet the accounts are domain accounts.
To support the use case where such a Web App needs to call `ssh` (e.
We should not blindly set the home directory of the SYSTEM account (or
of Microsoft accounts) to `/home/`, especially
`/etc/nsswitch.conf` defines `db_home: env`, in which case we want to
respect the `HOME` variable.

This patch hails from Git for Windows (where the Cygwin runtime is used
in the form of a slightly modified MSYS2 runtime), where it is a
well-established technique to let the `$HOME` variable define where the
current user's home directory is, falling back to `$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH`
and `$USERPROFILE`
This patch series supports Git for Windows' default strategy to
determine the current user's home directory by looking at the
environment variable HOME, falling back to HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH, and
if these variables are also unset, to USERPROFILE.
This strategy is a quick method to determine the h
