Replace HOME environment variable access to be more multiplatform #204

Describe the issue
On Windows systems, the HOME environment variable is not set or available and so the

_ROOTDIR = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".finkclient")

in fink_client\configuration.py will not work. This can be easily replaced by:

_ROOTDIR = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), ".finkclient")

which is multi-platform and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. (See 2nd part of this SO answer)

System Information:

  • Operating System: [Windows 11]:
  • Fink client version: [8.7]
