Bug 42773: Replace ~ with the original home.

In Bug 93141, Mozilla started sending users to their home when they type
~ in the URL bar.
On Linux, we change $HOME for various reason, therefore you would be
redirected to the spoofed home directory when typing ~.
So, we check if the original home directory is known, and use that,
instead.
