fix(ext/node): homedir() getpwuid/SHGetKnownFolderPath fallback (#…

…23841)

**Unix**: Returns the value of the HOME environment variable if it is
set even if it is an empty string. Otherwise, it tries to determine the
home directory by invoking the
[getpwuid_r](https://linux.die.net/man/3/getpwuid_r) function with the
UID of the current user.

**Windows**: Returns the value of the USERPROFILE environment variable
if it is set and it is not an empty string. Otherwise, it tries to
determine the home directory by invoking the
[SHGetKnownFolderPath](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/nf-shlobj_core-shgetknownfolderpath)
function with
[FOLDERID_Profile](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/knownfolderid).
