  1. Grab the home directory from /etc/passwd if needed 

    Go's `os.UserHomeDir` has one big gotcha: it only fetches the value from
the HOME environment variable and that's it: it does not try to fetch
this value from anywhere else if that environment variable is not set.

In some conditions (e.g. a systemd service file) this environment file
might not be set and hence some important paths will not be properly
generated. This commit ensures that the home directory is picked: if
Go's `os.UserHomeDir` fails, then we will try to read this value from
`/etc/passwd`.

Fixes bsc#1226128
