gitlab-ci: Set HOME to plausible but still non-existent location
We have been seeing numerous CI failures on aarch64/Darwin of the form:
CI_COMMIT_BRANCH:
CI_PROJECT_PATH: ghc/ghc
error: creating directory '/nonexistent': Read-only file system
Clearly *something* is attempting to create `$HOME`. A bit of sleuthing
by @int-e found that the culprit is likely `nix`, although it's not
clear why. For now we avoid the issue by setting `HOME` to a fresh
directory in the working tree.
(cherry picked from commit b2933ea95273f11b05f7ff796a9646a2e912d7fc)
