This function was added in b86e3bee5a to
work around an issue in os/user.Current(), which SEGFAULTS when compiling
statically with cgo enabled (see golang/go#13470).
We hit similar issues in other parts, and contributed a "osusergo" build-
tag in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/330753. The "osusergo"
build tag must be set when compiling static binaries with cgo enabled.
If that build-tag is set, the cgo implementation for user.Current() won't
be used, and a pure-go implementation is used instead;
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.19.4/src/os/user/cgo_lookup_unix.go#L5
With the above in place, we no longer need this workaround, and can remove
the ensureHomeIfIAmStatic() function.
