bpo-38883: Don't use POSIX `$HOME` in `pathlib.Path.home/expanduser` on Windows (GH-17961)
In bpo-36264 os.path.expanduser was changed to ignore HOME on Windows.
Path.expanduser/home still honored HOME despite being documented as behaving the same
as os.path.expanduser. This makes them also ignore HOME so that both implementations
behave the same way again.
