Get home directory in nodejs

You can get a user home directory with node using process.env['HOME'] at least it worked for me on osx.

Works in linux too. process.env['USERPROFILE'] would do the same in windows.

process.env.HOME || process.env.HOMEPATH || process.env.USERPROFILE should cover all bases
