Summary:                    sh HOME should not be UP shaded

I believe it is UP shaded because embedded systems may not maintain a
getpwnam() file, and take advantage of the unspecified behavior allowance
of HOME being unset to replace the tilde with an arbitrary absolute path
constant. Systems conforming to the UP option are required to maintain that
file, I believe, so a valid value for HOME is always plausible and
shouldn't be unset, or even a null string.
