Consult $HOME and $LOGNAME rather than calling getpwuid(),

Quiting getpwnam(3):

    An application that wants to determine its user’s home
    directory should inspect the value of HOME (rather than the value
    getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir) since this allows the user to modify
    their notion of "the home directory" during a login session.

The old behaviour of get_homedir() to return "/tmp" in the error case
is misleading at best, so abort in this case.
