tests: Set HOME to a temporary directory when running tests.

When running the tests in my environment, tests that derived from `test_wrapper.GitCheckoutTestCase` would fail on commit or tag due to incomplete or incorrect gpg config. Ideally, the tests should not be dependent on the user's git config. This change ensures $HOME (or Windows equivalent) is replaced for the session.
