  1. fix: use HOME dir if set 

    HOME directory should be preferred source of home directory information.

It's a common pattern to run software with a custom HOME to temporarily isolate it from the system-set home directory. All Unix software I ever worked with would respect HOME.

Preferring `user.Current()` (which I guess reads from `/etc/passwd`) make it impossible to temporarily change effective home, as changing `/etc/passwd` is not an option.

I'm currently migrating things to a self-hosted github-actions runner, where one system user is used for all github actions runners, but each instance gets a different `HOME`, and is otherwise sandboxed to not even have permissions to touch the original home. Everything works except `lncli` which fails with:

```
[lncli] could not load global options: could not read profile file /home/github-runner/.lncli/profiles.json: could not load profile file /home/github-runner/.lncli/profiles.json: open /home/github-runner/.lncli/profiles.json: permission denied
```

and I traced it to this code.
