bpo-10496: posixpath.expanduser() catchs pwd.getpwuid() error (GH-10919)
* posixpath.expanduser() now returns the input path unchanged if
the HOME environment variable is not set and pwd.getpwuid() raises
KeyError (the current user identifier doesn't exist in the password
database).
* Add test_no_home_directory() to test_site.
