os: only fallback to root directory if $HOME fails for UserHomeDir

UserHomeDir always returns "/" for platforms where the home directory
is not always well defined. However, the user might set HOME before
running a Go program on those platforms and on at least iOS, HOME
is actually set to something useful (the root of the app specific
writable directory).

This CL changes UserHomeDir to use the root directory "/" only if
$HOME is empty.
