... to a value that is a non-existent directory. Too many tools try
search for rc-files in the user's home directory. To make things
worth, the shell as well as many tools take an unset HOME variable
as instruction to look up the the user's home directory in the system
configuration. While it is good practise to write tests in such
a way that they explcitly do not depend on such machine-specific
defaults, still be on the safe side by explictly setting HOME to a
directory in the action directory we know our rules will no create.

... as test meta data. Tests are executed in an unspecified directory,
assuming pass or fail is independent of the location where the test
is run. While this generally is true, test logs often contain the
working directory. So, in order to more easily compare different
execution orders of a potential race condition, it can be desirable
to compare logs "up to the execution directory". This, however,
requires that this directory is recored in the first place. Do so.
For consistency of the output format, also have a (fixed) artifact
pwd in the summary report.

So far, our rules, where depending on the shell, implicitly use
"normal" defaults, hard-coded in the rules. Support configuring
those in a default target, in the same way we do so for other tools,
like the C compiler. In this, it is also possible to bring your
own shell, built as a (compiled) target.

... and document at the appropriate places what can be overwritten
by setting those targets.
